Small Silver Needle Been (Yin Zhen Bian Cha)

An unusually sweet, uncooked, green cake. Perhaps it is the young leaf or the way it was processed and pressed, this cake offers a sweetness not often found in a Pu-erh. The leaves have been loosely pressed into a disk shape exposing broad, silvery needles. A young tea, it is very drinkable now, with only hints of malt or astringency. Should be an interesting drink as the cake ages.. Produced in 2005, weight is 100 grams.
