Even within a region as famous as Yiwu, there are certain slopes and peaks whose mineral make-up, sun exposure, and even the way they catch clouds and mist rolling across the mountains in the early morning all come together to make something even more special. Ma Hei is one of those peaks, locally famous for the rich, ridiculously honeyed tea that comes from this tiny region. This cake is as single origin as they get - focusing on such a small grove of tea trees. Jin Tai workshop has outdone themselves. Notes of camphor, whipped cream, nectarine, and sweet mint with a deep honeyed aftertaste.

Wang Yanxin also recommends:
'Most pu’er does become more complex over time. Astringency mellows out, darker and richer flavors come through. Textural complexities become more pronounced. Starting with an intriguing young pu’er of high quality with lots of textures and flavors at play will increase your chances of graceful aging.'
