Excelent value Sheng Pu-reh tea. This tea will age well naturally and will increase in value every year it is kept.
All pu-erh teas have a unique woody/earthy aroma. The more they are aged, the more they develop a floral fragrance and smooth texture, largely depending on the original quality of the tea leaves. It is very similar to premium wines in this regard.
