After over a decade of aging, this cooked cake of Yellow Label Pu-er tea is prime for drinking. Its flavor moves from sweet molasses to mellow earth, while highlighting wood and fruit notes of dried plum and cherry along the way. Nice, big leaves ensure that this tea doesn't lose all of its flavor after the first brew. Overall, Yellow Label is silky and smooth on the palate and very warming to the stomach. Its pleasant flavor is impressive and enjoyable. Also worth noting is the "qi" energy of this tea, which endows you with a wealth of stillness and openess in the heart.
