This is a Menghai area ripe pu-erh tea produced by a small tea factory in 2004. It was aged in Kunming from 2005 until now. It comes wrapped in a white wrapper and there are no nei fei or other distinguishing marks.

It's a mix of various leaf grades, not particularly coarse overall, with a decent amount of golden tips. The brewed tea is incredibly rich with a nice aged taste and aroma. It has a pungent long lasting mouthfeel, coating the mouth with a bean-like sweetness with lots of tea oils. The dry aging has given this tea a very crisp and clear taste with no mustiness or mold. The tea soup is ultra clear with a burgundy-brown hue.

Very enjoyable aged ripe pu-erh tea that will engage even the most sophisticated "shou aficionados!"

Balanced flavor strength without overpowering intensity

"Only having tried a few pu-erhs, I tried this one out to see how different an aged pu-erh would be. This tea has quite some flavor strength, but without anything overpowering. Much like with wine age, a lot of possible harsh notes seem mellowed and balanced out with an almost creamy thickness. Very nice! Glad to try out a sample of this."

So happy to have tried this...

"This is a bit out of my price range, so it is not something I would normally buy. I got a sample of it in the 2019 January sampled box and it was a real treat. Incredibly smooth and sweet."

— Jamey W. (5/5)
