Shu Pu-erh 7588 "Haiwan", 2005, is a collectible aged tea made to the legendary recipe of the Haiwan Tea Factory. This pu-erh is the work of the respected Mr. Zou Bingliang. For about 20 years the tea was stored in proper dry conditions, and over all that time a special tea character developed in the leaves.
The entire batch was bought from an old collector, so there will be no second pu-erh like this in the catalog. It is a unique piece, both for a collection and for thoughtful tastings.
