This is actually not Puerh but Liu Bao, which is the Hei Cha that served as the inspiration for shou puerh processing in Yunnan when they began experimenting with wet piling and fermenting puerh in the 70's.
'Si Jin Quan' (Four Gold Coins) is a brand of Liu Bao that has been sourced and packaged by a Hong Kong trading company of the same name since the late Qing dynasty (Guangxu period).
This Liu Bao is a 2011 vintage that is thick and rich in the mouth with lots of wood and camphor notes and a nicely aged flavour. You'll find this tea warming, with full and sweet body that is very comforting and delicious.
