Description:

Processing: discontinuation of oxidation, rolling, sun drying, humidification, pressing performed hydraulically, tea, however, can be fairly well divided.
Leaf: excellent quality leaves with a very good share of buds, the overall appearance is neat and uniform. Scent of dry leaf is medium strong, harmonious, floral with hints of dark fruit and cane sugar.
Infusion: Color is golden honey, the smell fully corresponds with the smell of dry leaf, as opposed to the more perceptible dark tone. Infusion’s flavor is strong and powerful, rich, fairly typical for puerh from Yi Wu. There are present characteristic tones of dark fruits, forest honey, spices and rare floral traces.
Ageing: There is a big potential for the further aging of this tea, I recommend at least the next 20 years, but it is also absolutely delicious now for immediate drinking.

Note: The real weight is about 320-350 grams. This tea is placed among the best tea CNNP years 1999 - 2003 and also among the best tea from Wu Yi in 2003. Tea is the Newborn Pu-erh Yearbook 1998 - 2003 listed as Yiwu Ardor, but it's probably a typo.

Steeping:

This tea is slightly more difficult to prepare. Can be prepared as any other archival sheng pu-er. While breaking up a pu-erh cake it is important not to break leaves. Also it is necessary to pay attention to dosage and steeping times to prevent over steeping. It is then reflected as bitterness in the infusion.
