The Xiaguan Fei Tai #4 cake was produced from 1, 2 and 3 year old raw material and was blended in the traditional style of other Xiaguan products.  This FT release is higher quality than regular Xiaguan productions and it really shows in the taste of the tea.  The look of the leaves themselves is a dark green and brown color, the leaves are strong with lots of bud and leaf sets on a stem.  The leaves are somewhat broken.  This cake was tightly compressed using a hydraulic press.  The liquor color is a thick gold-yellow.  The drinker will notice the pungent aroma that is characteristic of Xiaguan teas.  The after-taste is sweet and there is a mouth-watering effect that happens quickly.  Notice the aroma at the bottom of your drinking cup after each infusion.

This is really an excellent tea.  I personally hightly recommend!
