"Small Golden Shoot" is a full-bodied, very dark leaf, "cooked" cake flecked with golden buds. Taste is rich and deep with earthy tones. Flavor that lingers is sweet, smooth and very pleasing. This 100-gram cake was made from leaf harvested in 2008 in the Simao area, Yunnan Province. Cake was pressed in 2009. Cups to clear reddish-brown liquor and will give multiple infusions. An excellent choice as a breakfast tea.
