Vintage: 2004 Spring Harvest
Type: Raw Pu-erh (unfermented)
Grade: Premium
Production area: Jingmai Mountain, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province

The production of this tea was made under the supervision of the famous tea scholar from Yunnan, Mr. He ShiHua. Cakes produced by Mr. He were primarily limited editions and are mostly in the hands of pu-erh collectors.

Taste characteristics:
Brewed to a pomegranate hue, this tea is clean, brothy, with a rich mouthfeel. Every sip is followed with a quick "Hui Gan" (return sweetness) that lasts for a long time. The "qi" is calming, yet palpable. As Linda says, "Every time I drank this tea, I lost count of how many steepings I got from the leaves." The characteristics exhibited by this tea are those of a well-produced and well-aged pu-erh.

Amazingly Fast Brew

By Sara K.
This tea has a clear taste. I didn't believe the brew instructions at first (5 seconds??) yet this tea really does steep/brew that fast. It has a pleasant sweetness. There's more sweetness in the early brews, and a more tangy mouthfeel in later brews. (Note: I got the 5g sample, so I've only had this tea once.)
Our Response:

After the 10th brew, it will get sweeter and sweeter.
