Product Description
This production is an entirely new recipe for 2008 based on the "Holy (Tibetan) Flame" brand of Xiaguan. The FT releases were originally all sent to Taiwan, but nowadays some Guangzhou tea sellers and collectors are starting to stock these premium teas!
Bao Yan (means Holy Fame) Brand is the brand traditionally used by Tibetan people to make yak butter teas. Other Xiaguan Brands include: White Crane, Bao Yan (Holy Flame or Tibetan Flame), Horse's Back and the Big Green Tree.
The "Exquisite Elegance" (or 独领风骚) Cake is composed of high quality blended material from 2006 and 2007. There is a balanced flavor present and a full thick textured brew that soothes the mouth and throat. Notice the special iron pressing impression for this cake.
An extremely limited production.

Another for the short list

Pip, pip, cheerio, and all that rot.
An outsized cake is usually the first indication of an inferior product, sort of a mini-tuo in reverse. If that were not enough to raise an eyebrow, it weighs in at a decidedly non-metric 454 grams, which I am told is one pound American.
Not to worry. This is a baoyan brick in black tie and tails. It captures the basic charm of that defining opiate for the masses, but has been dressed up and smoothed over. Put away the plastic spork, break out the fine silverware and white linen napkins, and enjoy.
