Says David Lee Hoffman, owner of The Phoenix Collection, "I personally collected this tea on Nannuoshan from old trees, 2006, then had it presed in Menghai factory." This is an interesting and reasonably priced puerh cake to get you started in your tea adventures.  See a video of Hoffman demonstrating the use of a puerh knife with this tea: Click here for video
