2023 Yunnan Sourcing "Lao Man'e Village" Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake
Spring 2023 harvested tea leaves that are 100% sourced from Lao Man'E Village (Bu Lang Mountains) tea from old plantation trees and bushes.
Being pure Lao Man'e this tea is quite bitter. Not only is there bitterness, but there is a strong aroma and very strong cha qi. The tea leaves are burly and thick and go many, many infusions before losing their flavor. The returning flavor is that of sweetness with a nice slippery soothing texture.
If you are looking to understand what pure Lao Man'e tea is while also not being crazy expensive, then this is something worth trying. If you are looking for something to age for the long term as an alternative or complement to Lao Ban Zhang, then Lao Man'e is a natural choice!
