To many, the Xi-Zhi Hao brand requires no introduction, for the last 3 years Mr. Chen a Taiwanese man with a passion for Pu-erh has created some of the most highly acclaimed tea cakes on the market. He is extremely dedicated to his work and has been known to hike the mountain trails of Xishuangbanna scouting out the best wild arbor raw material. In this way, he guarantees that if the cake says its "Nan Nuo" or "Pa Sa" it really is! He selects the best "mao cha" from these areas and oversees its processing from start to finish to make sure it turns out just as he needs it to be.
This cake is composed of blended wild arbor material taken from He Kai (贺凯) village in Meng Hai County. This cake was is based on a concept by both Mr. Chen and Ms. Dong Guoyan. A balanced blend of wild arbor tri-tips (2 leaves and 1 bud). Packaging design by Mr. Chen himself.

This sheng does have a clean flavour, but it also has a very singular, uncomplicated flavour.
The predominate flavour is smoke, which to my taste isnt highly enjoyable.
Lo astringency though, so not all bad :)

Clean tobacco taste, a bit thin in taste though. Good texture and mouthfeel. It's just expensive. If it's not expensive for you, you aren't going to be unhappy having this, especially as a daily sturdy eye-opener.
