2008 Wuzhou "Betel Nut" Liu Bao heicha

Chinese traditional fermented black tea, or hei cha as it is called, a dear relative of puerh! This tea was made in 2008 by Wuzhou tea factory under their Duo Teli brand in Wuzhou, Guangxi, China and was exported to Malaysia for the consumption of the Chinese diaspora there. Duo Teli is often known for it's lighter fermentation. It's dry, herbal and woody, brings autumn bog trails to mind.
