2006 Xiaguan FT "Mushroom Tuo" Raw Pu-erh Tea

This is a Xiaguan "Fei Tai FT" production. FT is a business which custom blends and special orders large quantities tea to be pressed in the Xiaguan tea factory. FT teas are intended for export to Taiwan, representing the highest quality Xiaguan teas. This tuo was the first FT produced mushroom tuo (in 2006). This 2006 production now commands high prices and arguably one of the most famous Xiaguan FT productions to date. This production was originally packaged in bamboo leaves in a "column" of 7 tuos. As is typical for FT productions this tuo is composed of a blend spring harvest leaves between 1 and 3 years old. This blending lends it a textured and well-rounded flavor. The tea soup is gold colored and thick! 20+ Years of aging! I purchased these back in 2006 directly from Xiaguan in Kunming!
