The tea can be aged for several years and will develop honey sweetness with hints of hay over the years. 100 grams per cake Stephen Colbert drinks the 2017 version of this tea on his #tea4tuesday segment!   Jinggu Sun-Dried Silver Needles Jinggu Sun-Dried Silver Needles Jinggu Sun-Dried Silver Needles This tea cake is composed entirely of Gong Ting (Tribute) grade ripe pu-erh tea (the smallest most potent leaf size).
