An early Hai Lang Hao (Ming Xiang Ya Yuan Mark) ripe pu-erh tea production. Pressed in 2004 from Menghai area 2002 wet-piled tea, this has been aged in Kunming since 2004. With almost a decade and a half of dry aging, this has an incredibly aromatic, crisp and clean character to it. Tea soup is an ultra-clear burgundy hue. Goes many, many steeps, with each steeping delivering a uniquely nuanced experience!

Complex

"Bought this brick in 2021. Tasted it then laid it down until fall of 23. Just finished off. Deep complex flavors make this one stand out. Dried mission fig, medjool date, Brazil nut, camphor, dried cherry. Flavor comes in layers. Creates a special pleasant feeling in the mouth that’s hard to describe. Finishes long and it has that returning sweetness that remind you of your session throughout the day."

— Paul C. (4/5)

Gorgeous clarity

"I could not stop admiring the beautiful deep garnet colour of this tea. Sparkling and jewel-like in my glass teacup. Tastewise, we get leather, dates and a very clean finish."

I thought the Golden melon

"I thought the Golden melon ripe pu erh tea tuo was the best."

— Bill G. (4/5)

Clean and aromatic

"This is a pretty fascinating aged ripe. It opened up pretty quickly with two rinses with boiling water, and released a strong aroma that is difficult to describe, with hints of sweet and savory baked goods, maybe a hint of sweet/clean tobacco, and a burly aroma that's hard to place. There's no "storage aroma", nothing dank about this. While the appearance of the sample looked a little unclean, as soon as water hit it, it broke up into beautiful dark leaves that produced a clear dark burgundy color as described and shown above. The brew is thick, the flavor is sweet with some very mild bitterness, with the fragrance following fully through to the flavor. Very interesting and worth a try, even if you don't typically like ripes with this much age."
