This Mini-Chang-an tea is made from the spring harvest of old-growth arbor trees. Hence, the tea is thicker, richer and more nuanced than most ripe pu-erh teas. After ten-plus years of aging, this tea has become nutty, sweet and simply delicious. The tea comes in twelve pressed mini-coins. Each mini-coin contains 10g of leaves and can be easily broken into half by pressing the creased lines separating the two portions.

One of the best01/18/2023 ByCarolyn W I left a similar review for the Chang-an Ripe brick. This is my favorite tea. I bought every last box of the loose tea when it was offered, and have tried to stock up on both these coins and the brick. This has great flavor, lasts many steeps, and it a "good feeling" tea. I highly recommend. Our responseThank you, Carrie. Yes, you did buy the last box of the Chang-an loose leaf Ripe.
Lovely tea09/13/2018 BySunflower After tasting a sampler of teas, I chose this one for it's smooth and subtle character. The tea has lovely subtle aromas and a smooth body with each steeping. I especially like the scent, with a touch of seaside air with the wood and leaf aromas.
Good but...09/13/2018 ByJohn Thomas I enjoyed this tea but found it to be overly dark and pungent on its own. I like mixing it with other less dark sho pu-erh's (like God Medal 2006 and Enchantment of Ancient trees to round out the flavor.
Immediate Gratification05/21/2020 ByShelley Oram These handy coins are so convenient for a quick, easy tea experience. The tea is medium strength with a steady smooth taste and aroma.
