Silver Hair Tuo Cha (Yin Hao Tuo Cha)

This is a collector's issue green or uncooked tea cake. The 100-gram cake was made in 2004 with select Yin Hao or silver needle leaf and offers a very clean appearance. The "chop" or seal is embedded in the cake. This cake is astringent, very strong but with early hints of its maturing malty flavors. Cake should age slowly as the press was by machine and is quite hard. This may be one to put up for a few years.
