Entirely Spring 2019 harvested tea from the Big Snow Mountain area of Mengku in Lincang.  Pure unadulterated teas were collected from two different tea gardens and then small batch wet-piled on wood platforms over a 45 day period!  Only pure spring water was used for the wet-piling process to keep the tea sweet and clean tasting!  After wet piling was completed the teas were aged almost a year in Mengku before being pressed.  The resulting tea is thick, sweet, and creamy with very little wet pile taste.   This is a premium ripe tea that will continue to age and develop more complexity for decades to come!

Reviews

rich and satisfying

"Brewing: 6g/100ml, flash rinse, 10s x 3, +5s. Warmed-up dry leaves smell of stone fruit, wood and cocoa. When wet, caramel and spices appear. The liquor tastes of stone fruit (mostly plum), wood, caramel and liquorice. Smooth blend. Very rich and satisfying. Lasts for 16 steeps, getting milky towards the end, which keeps it interesting."

Elegant ant clean

"Tasting this in 2024. First sips: amazing clarity and cleanliness. Velvety, buttery with strong cocao notes. Very well rounded. Worth to try just for a taste of how clean puerh can be if made properlly."

Chocolate covered figs

"Extremely clean and crisp ripe that doesn't skimp on the flavor! Chocolate covered figs is the first thing that comes to mind when sitting with a cup of this. Very enriching and enveloping qi that doesn't overpower any one sense. I like the drink this one after a long day of work where I still need a kick of energy, but nothing that'll kick my stoRead more about review stating Chocolate covered figsmach hard (I have a very sensitive stomach and this one is super gentle on me!)"

Love this taste

"Of all the Mengku/Lincang teas I have fallen in love with, this is my favourite. But I still think it will improve with age, so I made room in my cupboard to store a couple of big snow mountains!"

John T. (5/5)

Nice ripe tea

"A pleasant tea that was very easy to drink during my work day. The cha qi sits in the background, and is more of a focused feeling than anything else. The taste was smooth; a little wet pile taste in the wash but not much after a few steeps. Sweet and creamy giving way to the classic ripe puer brothyness, you can taste how cleanly the tea was processed."
