Shuangjiang Mengku Tea factory the most famous tea factory in the Lincang area of south-western Yunnan has produced this cake for a second year. The leaves used are all from Wild (not ancient) trees from the "Big Snow Mountain" a mountain that tops out at 3,200 meters above sea level, making it the highest mountain in Lincang county. Lincang is synonymous with high quality material used to make Raw Pu-erhs and such famous producers as Xiaguan and Nanjian and of the course the CNNP have used leaves taken from these areas.

This cake has a mellow character but with a sort of spicy/nutty golden yellow liquor. Recent years have proven that the wild trees of this variety will age well. Mengku no longer produces this cake, the last year of production was 2006.

Producer: Shuangjiang Mengku
Vintage: April 2006
Production area: Big Snow Mountain of Lincang

From October 9th 2020 we are now offering a Guangdong stored version.  If you purchased this tea previous to this date, it was Kunming stored and quite different.  Be warned!
** Some wrappers may be bug-bitten with little holes in the paper. There may also be some dust between the wrapper and the cake. Rinse tea once or twice briefly before drinking! If you are squeamish please don't order this tea!
