Sun dried assamica (large leaf varietal) from Yunnan that is usually destined for raw Puer production.
Our 2024 Penetralia is a thick bodied, rich and herbaceous black tea with depth and engaging layered flavors.
Pressed in 2024. Each cake is 200g. The cakes are in bamboo tongs, with five cakes per tong.
Grandpa Style!
I’m quite enjoying the well balanced sweet and savory profile of this hong cha, though I’m sure the flavours will settle in different ways both with time/age and alternative brewing methods. The liquor is smooth and full bodied with golden-leaning overtones of sweet potatoes, treacle, candied pecans, and fresh baked caraway bread – very much my speed. The undertones, while much more subtle, as a tinge herbaceous with the most memorable tasting notes being Thai basil or tulsi. Very slick, and coating on the palate. Super excited to get to know this tea a little better!!
