Yunnan Sourcing is proud to present our Gong Ting grade ripe tea cake. The material was fermented from Spring 2009 Lincang wild arbor material and has a strong mouth-feel and pungent aroma. The fermentation level is not too high and much of the original character of the leaves remains both in appearance and taste. Some slight bitterness remains in the leaves which will gradually transform into rich creaminess with age.

A premium tea in all facets (material, processing, and recipe).

357 grams per cake

Excellent shou

"I was inspired by the videos from Scott so yesterday I drank Man Tang Hong Number 2 for the first time and today I'm revisiting the Man Tang Hong Gong Ting. I bought the 2011 sampler with both a few months ago so they've had plenty of time to rest. The dry leaf of this one smells like dark chocolate and both it and the tea soup are more pungent than Number 2. That said, Gong Ting is actually rounder tasting and sweeter with a sharp cinnamon taste that quickly fades to more of a feel that goes well with the general thickness of this tea. This tea is definitely smoother than Number 2 with a plummy tartness that emerges in the aftertaste that really rounds out this tea. This tea also leaves a sugar sweetness on my lips but this still has lots of character to it. Number 2 really is a drier tea with more spice flavor and less sweetness. Both definitely share a lot of character and are really nice teas. This is probably more of a daily drinker type for me due to the more rounded profile."
