This is a 2005 Xinghai tea factory raw pu erh cake. Composed of Menghai region pu erh tea leaves this 20 year old cake has been in my collection for more than 15 years. This tea was a tea exchange with a tea collector in Guangzhou.
I am happy that most of my pu erh tea are reaching the 20 year old mark. For newer collectors, 20 years is long time to wait but time will pass quickly. Store your tea away in a clean and dry space in your house and leave it alone. Of course, temperature and humidity in the house would affect the aging results of your tea but nevertheless your tea will still age with time in storage. It will age vey slowly compared to those tea collections in hot and humid countries but you should still have a nice tea to drink.
This tea after 20 years of storage is sweet, mellow and smooth. Not smoky but a delightful mouthwatering tea. The signature menghai aroma and taste is really very pleasant in this tea. I am happy.
