High quality puerh Lao Tong Zhi, produced by the famous Haiwan Tea Factory. The pu-erh, compressed into 357 gram discs (“bing cha”) is medium fermented, thus providing rich but at the same time soft and balanced flavor. As a rule, puerhs with ageing less than 2–3 years are too rough and heavy for immediate use and require additional ageing. But pu-erhs of the “Old Mate” series are an extraordinary exception from this rule. Even young Lao Tong Zhi exhibits a softness and complexity of flavor and aroma, it is a reliable and easy-to-handle tea, good enough for immediate use and for additional ageing over several years that will help revel a deeper and more complex flavor. Even at the first brewing the leaves give a rich aroma of mocha and raisins, the aroma of raisins opens up in further brewing accompanied by cinnamon spicy notes. The range of aromas becomes more interesting — from earthy-rotten shades to piquant caramel tones.
