The \"Wu Jin\" uses old-tree (gu shu) leaf, which usually gives more body and a longer finish than plantation leaf. As a young sheng, it is likely to drink lively and direct for now. From XiaGuan — a 2022 sheng (raw) puerh tuo in the Wu Jin - Bu Lang + Meng Song + Xi Gui - Gu Shu line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 0.6em;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a glance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2022 · Sheng (raw) puerh · 250g tuo · XiaGuan Tea Factory\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompression \u0026amp; dry leaf:\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a tightly pressed 250g tuo.
