Wild Arbor King (乔木王) was first introduced in 2006, and quickly became one of Mengku's most popular raw pu-erhs.  In 2006 it won the prestigious Expo Tea Award in Kunming.  A great tea with excellent aging potential and high percentage of wild arbor tea leaves!  This is a classic Mengku raw pu-erh that has stood the test of time and proven itself to be worthy of aging!

Full of intense and aromatic cha qi, the bottom of the cup smell after drinking is exquisite!

"Strong Mengku sheng with tons of kuwei and sweetness on the back end. Strong mouthfeel and long lasting. I am drinking this daily and one kilogram seems to last forever! Pandemic companion!"

Honey sweet aroma, yet smoky

"I honestly hate to be the first to write a review and buzzkill at the same, but there it is - my honest opinion. As my palate for raws grows, certain aspects stand-out for me for better and worse, defining my taste. For me, I noted the honey aroma this tea offered, mildy so while dry, but quite poignantly in the brewed leaves. In the liquor, the honey is quite mild, but seemingly with the promise that if pushed, you may tease out this sweet reward. The problem for me was the smokiness this tea also holds. Brewing about 6g for 10-12s in my 200ml Gaiwan, I found the tea quite mild, with a smoke note. Not great, not bad. Pushed harder, the smoke and added bitterness isn't balanced off with the overshadowed sweet and things fall apart a bit for me. I fully appreciate that some look for these traits, so it is fully possible this is simply not my cup of tea. I wish I could extract the sweet heart of this from under the rest, because those wet leaves smell wonderful. Maybe you can?"

Q&A

Is it a 500 grams brick, or a 1 kilo brick? You guys have made a controversial description which says both.
I fixed the listing. Thanks for your eagle eye!
