Needed to let it breathe for a few days before the flavor opened up.

If you're a collector, this might not impress. But it’s solid for casual enjoyment.

The box is beautiful, but I wish more money went into the actual tea quality. It’s okay, not amazing.

The tea knife included is helpful, but the cake was tightly pressed. Took some effort to get it started.

Not too strong or funky. A very balanced cake for someone trying Pu-erh for the first time.

The tea smells and tastes like a real high mountain Pu-erh. The storage box helps keep it fresh.

The ritual of breaking off the tea and brewing it slowly really helps me relax. It’s become part of my weekend routine.

The taste is worth it, but I wouldn’t buy this for everyday drinking. More for special occasions or gifts.

The included tea pick and book-style packaging give it a classy feel. The tea brews beautifully with multiple infusions.

The flavor profile was rich and smooth. Definitely one of the better aged Pu-erh teas I’ve had.
