This lovely mushroom tuo was pressed by a friend of ours who is based in Yong De county of Lincang.  It's a pressing of Mang Fei Mountain tea harvested from 2008 to 2017, that was blended together to create a semi-aged pu-erh with a classic Lincang character and just enough aged taste to make it a good choice for those who prefer a bit of age on their pu-erh.

Being a blend of over five spring harvests spanning more than 10 years, this tea has plenty of character and a robust character.  Thick, bitter, astringent, cooling, lubricating to the mouth, with slightest hints of smoke thrown in, makes this an enjoyable tea now, but is still worthy of further aging.

Powerful stuff

"I’ve not had my mushroom of this tea for very long and as I write it’s almost finished. This is significant because I have Sheng Pu erh cakes here that have lasted since 2018. The tea is burley to my eye and is reasonably tightly compressed. I’ve never really developed a technique to peel layers off a mushroom. My mushroom of this tea had quite a long stem in the middle and that was a good place to start. In the first few steeps the soup is quite dark and very strong. There is quite a bit of good bitterness that lasts until the fifth infusion. Following that, the bitterness drops away almost completely and the soup becomes much softer and sweeter. I’ve had eight infusions in order to write this review. But they remain quite dark in colour. My instinct is that it could be pushed to about ten infusions or even more. It has an aged feel, but mostly I think this tea would appeal to people who like young, strong, big in the mouth sheng Pu erh. It’s not for everyone, but I’ve loved it. At the same time I’ve been finishing off my cake of 2004 Tai Lian ‘Yi Wu Zhen Shan’ Raw Pu erh which is the complete opposite to the Mandala mushroom as a much older tea which has settled into a soft, full of flavour tea that’s unchallenging and has virtually no bitterness. It’s an interesting contrast, but each tea has its place."

In love!

"Just got this yesterday and could not wait to try. I know know I'm supposed to let it acclimate, but I went into the session thinking "oh it's newly pressed tea, and it's been in transit". I was impressed from the get go with the silk tea soup, room filling aroma, and the strong buzz from the goodness in this tea. It's got a somewhat aged feel to it as evidenced by both the darker color of the tea and the leaves, but also in the taste. It just doesn't have that green taste that other young shengs have. Love the shape and wrapper too."
