This little brick is early spring tea of Menghai, picked in a 1 leaf to 1 bud ratio. This type of picking gives the tea a tippy look and feel with plenty of aroma and light invigorating cha qi. A great brick for aging, or if you like young pu-erhs you will be very be satisfied with the complexity and feeling of this little tea brick!

Ex-Manager of the Menghai Tea Factory Mr. Zhou Bing Liang started the Haiwan Tea Factory a few years back. Bringing with him his excellence in selecting, blending and fermenting compressed Pu-erhs. I visited their tea factory in Anning (Mr. Zhou retired here due to abundant hot springs!) and found it to be the cleanest factory I have been to sofar. Due to Mr. Zhou's deep relationship with producers in the Six Famous Tea Mountain area of Xishuangbanna he has been able to procure (highly sought after) leaves from that region to compose his Pu-erh tea cakes.

Clean and straight taste

"Tightly pressed tea, but loosens up and unties quickly when it gets in contact with hot water. The taste is straight and the most coffee like I have ever tasted."

— Gerald T. (5/5)

Worth a Few Tries

"This particular pu-erh had to grow on me; I really wasn't sure about it at first. But it definitely has grown on me. It's rather dark and rich, and I don't usually like this level of bitterness in my tea, but it's *so smooth* that I actually enjoy the bitterness. It's definitely worth a try - and even a few tries if you're not enjoying it right at first. Like me, you may find that it was well worth trying again!"

— Suzy E. (4/5)

Sticks on the Way Down

"Whoa, this is a really nice experience. I drink a lot of pu-erh, mostly stuff like from the regular brands, like this 'comrade' brand and even the 'nerds' brand, so I am easy to please, I suppose. I love gong-tings and plantation tea, pesticides and all. I don't care, tea is tea! Overall, this is an amazing little brick. Since I drink a lot of pu-erh, I was surprised to find this little brick going a long way. Maybe I use too much, like I usually do. After 20 plus years drinking tea like water, maybe I do my pyrex gong-fooing like a fool. Overall, hands-down and cups-up - this stuff is awesome. Super deep sweetness, like a gong-ting, but richer with even more body. A meal in a cup, one can actually empty stomach this one. Not like water, this tea sticks on the way down. Amazing quality. These must be special leaves."
