Provenance Note
This tea was acquired from a private collector who meticulously maintained the bricks but chose to remove the original paper wrappers years ago, believing it would accelerate the aging process. While the "naked" state is unconventional, the tea itself has matured beautifully. Because of the missing packaging, we have secured this lot at a highly competitive price, a value that is passed directly to the end consumer.
