You Zi Cha Pomelo Pu-erh

The pomelo is a citrus fruit native to South East Asia that resembles a large grapefruit. These pomelos were hollowed out, the fruit from inside was mixed with oolong tea and then put back in the rind, the pomelos were then wrapped in wire, slow-dried over a hearth, and then allowed to age. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the citrus scent that will fill the room when you first take the top off of your pomelo. Please be careful with the wires: this is probably the only tea you will need a pair of pliers to enjoy. The tea is smooth, with bright citrus notes on the finish. You will need to rinse the tea leaves several times with hot water before actually steeping them, due to the amount of aging that went into producing these tea-filled pomelos. These pomelos were aged in the United States in man-made tea caves and great care was given to the environment in which they were stored regarding temperature and humidity. These pomelos range in age anywhere from 10 to 20 years.
