Jiang Chen (River City) Raw Pu-erh Brick (1970 vintage - unknown harvest)

Weight: 250 grams
Type: Raw Pu-erh (unfermented)
Grade: unknown
Production area: Jiang Chen, Yunnan Province

Taste characteristics:
Jiang Chen (River City) is located southeast of Simao, bordering Laos and Vietnam. Due to its lower elevation, warm and humid climate, the tea from this area is typically silky and sweet, but mild. The characteristics of the tea from this area are very similar to Yiwu teas. Accordingly, teas from this area are often used to blend with Yiwu teas.

This tea brick, sold exclusively in the U.S. by Bana Tea Company, has been traditionally stored in Hong Kong for over thirty years before it was purchased and stored in Yunnan. The tea has no paper wrapping and came in packs of four. After decades of aging, this tea has become very round, silky and smooth. It possesses a rose powder scent with a hint of ginseng notes. The pronounced sweetness of this tea is unique among other aged Pu-erh of its class. It is a tea to be savored on special occasions.
