These chunks are local, village-made, irregularly hand-shaped nuggets of Pu-erh tea. They are made from the spring plucking of mature leaves of ancient Dayeh tea trees that are classified as being those over 100 years old . The tea liquor is wonderfully rich and smooth and possesses the familar earthiness of a good shou Pu-erh. Ancient tree Pu-erh leaf has a characteristically deep and focused flavor due to the age of the tree. This Pu-erh is ready to drink and enjoy, or it can be kept for several years in a good environment.
