2003 Keyixing Yiwu


Raw pu-er that has fermented into maturity is prohibitively expensive. It is slightly more affordable to drink a raw tea that has matured just enough to mellow and remind you what fermentation does. 5 years of aging has replaced the bitterness of new tea with a pronounced sweetness. The tobacco has mellowed out without disappearing and you can taste the range of flavors in a way that young tea doesn't allow. I'm tempted to buy an entire cake and drink this all the time.
