This early 1980's tea, if the date is to be believed, is the oldest puerh tea I've had so far. Got me a 20 gram sample pack for $25. Broke off 5 grams for tasting in a 70 ml Yixing. Brewed up red and brown, and got dark brown in later steeps. Tasted of wet earth and minerals. Wish I could get a full cake of this! The tea has traditional Hong Kong storage, so you will want to air this out good, and if you don't like a bit of musty in your tea, then you might have to take a pass on this. But it is really good, well worth ordering at least once!
