An early production from Hai Lang Hao. The nei fei and wrapper bears the name of his shop (Ming Xiang Ya Yuan), which was used on his 2002 to 2006 productions. This tea cake was produced entirely from old plantation tea leaves picked during the first flush of spring 2004. The tea has been stored in Kunming since 2005 and has aged well in its Kunming dry-storage condition.

The taste is smooth with some spicy notes and high level of aroma. The tea liquor is clear and deep golden with hints of red developing in it. The aged flavor of Nan Nuo is floral and full in the mouth. The after-feeling of drinking this tea is pleasant stimulating long after the last cup!

Net Weight: 357 grams per cake (7 cakes per stack in a bamboo tong wrapper)

The strong taste and intense

"The strong taste and intense and clear aftertaste are an excellent choice for every demanding and experienced tea lover."

— Marko S. (5/5)

Ever Changing and smooth

"I am drinking a sample right now of this tea. Its very smooth at the start and slowly brings in some astringency and a little bit of bitterness. I am somewhere in the 8-12 steeps and each change in time brings a different character in this tea. It has a very interesting finish. I look forward to the other teas in my Nan Nuo sampler."

Grandma meets Blueberry Muffin!

"This may sounds strange but in a certain way it describes quite on point what's going on within this unique aged fellow - at least some curios aspects of it ;) - Already the scent steaming up of my Nixing pot really hits some different tones as it normally used to do. When I say Grandma it isn't exactly the scent of old people but more like their perfume they use - a bit of rose or better placed as Greek rose frankincense plus a hint of the medicinal variation of marshmallows aka althaea officinalis! But generally said there is a certain frankincense tree resin touch to it with a very nice more known thick slightly bitter Agarwood main construct as a base note. Some might find a resemblance within the image of an old European church. The mouth feel is very thick and long lasting with an outstanding sweet echo of blueberry muffin. Those empty cups exhale a nice bouquet of beeswax! Within the later infusions the scent turns more and more into a medicinal sphere with a slightly creamy buttery nuance to it. This fellow really aged in a perfect well balanced way with such a unique profile - a real pleasure! This aged buddy takes you on a quite abundant journey with many infusions to go!

Am having a cup while

"Am having a cup while writing this review and am and enjoying it very much. In my opinion this is a well crafted well aged Nan Nuo that has mellowed over time but still retains a soft bitterness and light astringency. Great flavor and refined subtlety. I've also put a cake away to storage for another 5 or 10 years. This can only get better as it continues to age."
