Notes of malty Assam, carrot tops, zest, pine tar, and honey glazed carrots. This tea is hefty without being overbearing. Made from a rare original cultivar that was planted in the area known as "shan cha". A bit like Yunnan ancient tree raw puer and after a slight oxidation, the result is a honey flower finish. From Six Turtle Mountain in Southern Taiwan's Kaohsiung County. The farm is in a natural setting that it thirty minutes from the Mao Lin butterfly reserve.

Tasting notes are of a malty tea, more towards a black tea in character rather than an oolong or green. Has some weight to it, not a light floral tea at all, and a light puer taste that would be good for you if you find some of the older puers too overwhelming.
