This is a nice looking cake full of large whole leaves – there is some serious content locked into these leaves.  Age has darkened the color to a deep brown.  Two quick rinses to wash and awaken the tea leaves and we’re ready to be impressed…….  The soup color is a mature orange tone and both floral and wood fragrances come forward.   A smooth thick tea soup that presents a gentle rather complex mix of fruit (berry-like), honey, nuts and camphor.  This mix of flavor sensations feels quite refined and pure and light with a lingering rich mouth feel.  This is an enjoyable tea and it has it all - taste, mouthfeel, lingering aftertaste, energy and endurance.  The discovery of a well aged cake such as this makes me very happy!
      
   
    
Classic stuff, sounds good. One quick rinse would do for me, too precious to throw away :)
Where may one purchase this?
I picked up this cake at The Chinese Tea Shop in Vancouver.
