1988 Hongyin

1988 Hongyin raw tea.

This tea is less hyped than the 88 Qing Bing, and therefore more affordable. That fits better into the whole not drinking the story narrative.

As far as I understand, this is a custom order tea, which has been made with same material as precious 80s Kunming Hongyin Iron Cake.

I’m keen for people to try this tea, to get better idea whether or not some of these old teas are worth it. Therefore samples are offered with zero markup, just pick however much you like.

The cakes are approximately 357g. Storage has been relatively dry natural in Taiwan for most of its life, but I am pretty sure it spent its early days on the other side of the strait, possibly in Hong Kong.
