So very, very smooth. Delightfully and gently energizing, this young(er) ripe pu’er is a rare treat from the Yunnan Province. Antwerp’s Placebo is gonna make you feel good! 200 grams (7.055 ounces) of true tea joy.

What a find these leaves were! Picked (2017) from trees grown in Menghai County grown in fresh, clean air, they have been expertly processed (2018), yielding super clean and thick flavor with no off-putting post-fermentation funk.

The leaves are beautiful and whole, the tea liquor rich, thick, with just the right balance between your favorite old book smell and the hints of chocolatey bitter and sweetness, with a hint of licorice in the aftertaste. We don’t want to wish time away, but this is going to age like a true champion ripe tea. Highly recommended!

Steamed and pressed in December 2019, this is an astoundingly delicious cake of tea! Here is the mini-tuocha version (same leaf, 2020 pressing)!
