Meng Song Gong Ting Grade Loose Leaf Ripe Pu-erh Tea

This Gong Ting grade ripe tea is a from a wet pile batch done entirely from Meng Song area (Menghai County) tea leaves harvested in 2017 and wet piled in 2018!

Gong Ting grade ripe pu-erh tea is the smallest leaf grade, has a very potent cha qi, with a thick tea soup, dark chocolate like bitterness and fruity sweetness. 

Pure Meng Song ripe tea is relatively rare.  It has a unique bitter-sweet character with a fast hui gan and a black licorice sweet after-taste.

For those of you who purchase this tea during the year of 2018 expect that there will be a fairly strong wet pile taste throughout 2018, but one that will fade gradually as tea ages.  Remember pu-erh increases in palatability and complexity with age!  In Chinese we refer to this as 越陈越香.
