Description
A tea worth of celebration, this blend bucks our usual MO of offering transparent information in terms of tea sourcing (region, provenance, and all that good stuff). While this tends to be better for educating and calibrating tastes across Yunnan’s varied terroir, this tea is about shutting off the brain and just enjoying life.
This year’s formula is quite similar to the original, although some teas received upgrades this time around (in other words, bigger trees). But does it even matter?
Overall, this tea leans heavily towards the Menghai side of things, with several of our favourite areas and gardens playing a key part. Our mission with this tea is to create the most ideal, yet accessible (price-wise) raw puer we can. This requires a good base material to carry it, followed up with teas that we feel offer an interesting fragrance and pleasant experience.
Having enjoyed multiple sessions with this tea in the weeks prior to releasing it, we feel it’s a mission accomplished.

I really enjoy Trade Secret as a raw Puer for studying since it gives you a really nice body feeling and has a long lasting taste. You can easily make ten or more steeps with it.

An excellent tea for adventurers. I consider this tea a bargain, even without the anniversary discount. First time i tried it, i was left crying rivers and enjoying life. Im not sure what happened, i was just drinking tea. Also, it left my stomach growling for the whole day…
This tea has a lot to offer, strong flavor, durable, aftertaste, qi, depth, fragrance, nice body feeling.

So comforting farmhouse taste. Energy curve that increases suddenly; be careful!
//Smell: Smells divinely good, vegetal, THE typical sheng puer, leather, clean clothes, hay, vegetable broth
//Texture: Thick texture (even heavy), presence in the cheeks and throat, oily effect
//Taste: Vegetable broth, wet hay, wet rock with sand, dry grass, old soft leather
//Body sensation: Dry and dusty feeling (because of the bud hairs?), thickened cheeks, gum coverage, missing saliva, heart rate felt throughout the body
