This Zheng Yan tea from Cindy Chen was baked 4 times over charcoal to achieve a medium baking level. Harvested from a single old tree within the Wuyi Scenic Area, this is a rare tea that offers a smokey and peppery dark chocolate flavor with ripe fruits and minerals. The flavor lingers several minutes. It has been aged dry for 3 years.
Velice zajímavý a kvalitní lisovaný čaj z málo známé oblasti Čang-pching.

„Unlike green tea produced in china which is dried with hot air after the pan-frying stage to completely kill enzyme activity, leaves used in the production of pu-erh are only pan-fried and thus a small amount of enyzmes are left which contribute a minor amount of oxidation to the leaves during sun-drying“
