{"title":"Hai Lang Hao Brand Pu-erh Tea","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHai Lang's brand message in his own words: In 2003 I tried to officially register the label Ming Xiang Ya Yuan, which rolls off the tongue and invokes an image of a fragrant tea garden. However, this name had already been registered by someone else in a small teahouse in Beijing. I then tried lengthening the name to Ming Xiang Ya Yuan, but this too was already registered elsewhere. So I tried the name Hai Lang Hao (海浪号), which is my internet name, but this turned out to be registered by another company as well, even though I still use this name regularly. Actually, the official brand-name that my tea is currently registered under is Xiang Sui (香随) which I believe fits the characteristics of my tea the best. It means that the fragrance, taste and feeling given off by the tea tends to linger and follow you everywhere you go. My only real requirement for my teas is that it satisfies me, like I said earlier, by providing a pleasant feeling in the mouth and throughout the body. My goal is to simply produce good tea which is satisfying to the customer, so If I am able to do this successfully, that is enough for me.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2002-hai-lang-hao-ai-lao-shan-mini-cake-raw-pu-erh-tea","title":"2002 Hai Lang Hao \"Ai Lao Shan Mini Cake\" Raw Pu-erh Tea","description":"A simple mini cake produced with the \"Ming Xiang Ya Yuan\" nei fei, which is the name of Hai Lang's tea shop.

The tea itself mouth-feel is evident and pungent with bitter taste that gradually changes into a thick plump feeling in the mouth and throat. It brings a mouth-watering feeling to the tongue and mouth and strong thick after-taste. This tea does not have any smoky flavors or aromas. The aroma at the bottom of the tea cup is pleasant and strong with a sweet nectar-like feeling. The \"mao cha\" was stored for 3 years in Bu Lang mountain area of Banna. This uncompressed storage condition in warmer more humid conditions has brought about a more aged taste and feeling.

When brewed, it has a strong and fresh nectar-like fragrance. It enters the mouth with a thick sweetness, and the tea liquor is rich and strong. It feels as if the entire mouth is filled with tea. Overall this is extremely similar to the Tea King cake, but it also adds a certain unique \"mountain top charm\" that belongs only to Yi Shan Mo. Huigan (\"returning sweetness\") and salivation are both extremely strong and long-lasting. The flavor lingers for an exceptionally long time. The tea also exhibits profound houyun (\"throat charm\"). The overall strength and intensity of this tea is slightly higher than that of the Tea King cake, and it possesses a very high level of qi. The experience of this tea is not as intensely stimulating. This realization only arrives after letting out a belch of satisfaction upon finishing the tea. The leaves are plump and thick, blackish green and highly uniform. Overall, this is a very well-produced tea with no obvious flaws.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo tong)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStone Pressed with 40 kilogram molds in the traditional manner.

cha from Gao Shan Zhai Village  and had it painstakingly small-batch wet piled to perfection.  After 43 days of wet piling in a Menghai area tea factory, this light fermentation ripe pu-erh tea was
