Smoky03/11/2025 ByCameron Bruno Slight smoky nose and flavor, not too overwhelming. Savory and clean with a sweet finish. Thick mouthfeel. Great after a meal, has some chocolatey notes. Our responseThe smoky note is signature to Xiaguan Tea Factory, apparently due to the climate and high elevation of the location. As you said, the smoky note is not overwhelming, and it is quite a nice addition that sets it apart from the Menghai type of ripe pu-erh.
Smoothness 11/07/2024 ByNeal Perrin Love the smoothness of this ripe mellow all day drinker. Get some the descriptions from Bana I have a 2018 of this brand of ripe. You can really notice the age difference very enjoyable. Our responseSo glad you enjoyed this tea. It is one of my favorite ripe pu-erh.

A Surprising Delight06/19/2024 BySean Cyre This was such a lovely tea to drink this afternoon. As I started to drink it I started to notice a cooling effect but dismissed it as wishful thinking until it got stronger. After checking Linda's write-up on it found that this Shou had Gan! The body of the tea is very full and comforting and the Gan is a welcome surprise. Anyone who loves Pu'er will love this tea. Our responseThank you for the nice review. I am so glad you felt the gan I felt. This tea in some ways resembles an aged raw. It is so clean. The storage condition in Xianguan is very intriguing.
