Historically, tight tea has been known for its strong flavor and resilient fragrance, and it has long been an indispensable part of life in Tibetan regions. In the past, it was transported into Tibet by mule caravans from Yunnan, covering long and difficult distances. Due to the humid conditions along the way, the tea was often susceptible to mold. To prevent this, the tea gradually developed its distinctive \"mushroom\" shape with a handle, which provided the necessary space for moisture to evaporate and helped avoid mold. This unique shape has been retained to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBao Yan tight tea is made from relatively thick, grade 8-10 tea leaves, which results in a higher level of sweetness after aging. However, when it is fresh, the tea tends to be quite bitter and astringent, with a strong, dominant flavor. It takes several years for the tea to mature and soften, and until that transformation occurs, it is difficult to drink. Tibetans particularly appreciate the rich, full-bodied taste and robust fragrance that develop with aging, which is why it is commonly used to make the famous Tibetan butter tea (yak butter tea).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Jing Tea Shop tasting note: 2003 raw Bao Yan Jin Cha puerh tea\" href=\"blogs\/tea-times-with-jing\/2003-xia-guan-factory-raw-bao-yan-jin-cha\"\u003eClick to read the latest tasting note\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e","brand":"Jing Tea Shop","offers":[{"title":"1 piece","offer_id":44890299072689,"sku":"","price":96.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 pack\/3 pieces","offer_id":44890299105457,"sku":"","price":282.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/0309\/2021\/files\/IMG_20240127_173336_383_afc87895-4cb9-4269-9ee9-2459a7295f33.webp?v=1731431664"},{"product_id":"fdsqfsq","title":"Chrysanthemum puerh (guk pou - 菊普)","description":"\u003cp\u003eInspired by cherished childhood memories of tea houses in Canton, where my grandfather would always order a cup of \"菊普\" (chrysanthemum and pu’er) tea, I’ve created this special kit for you to experience this traditional Cantonese tea ritual.
