Drinking this for the first time and impressed by the reliability of the CNNP mark. The cake is smooth and the leaves are relatively small which makes the unmolested cake look like a piece of beautiful marble. I’m immediately struck by a light effervescence in the broth that tingles my mouth and adds a pleasant dimension to the sweet brew. A little cherry tobacco aftertaste rounds out the sensation. An affordable, quality pu-erh that will only get better.
2005 CNNP Grand Red in Red Pu-erh Cake
This pretty pu-erh cake with a red ribbon brews a red wine alike liquor with a creamy, mellow taste, very smooth and a sweet aftertaste. It is obvious that some arbor/old tree materials were used in making this cake.
