This is purely Lao Man'e village ripe pu-erh tea harvested from mature trees in Spring 2023 and then wet piled in Autumn 2023. 

This is the most potent ripe tea we have ever pressed. It's quite bitter, but is incredibly complex tasting with a long lasting mouthfeel and strong cha qi as well!

Entirely Lao Man'e old plantation material from Lao Man'e village in the Bu Lang mountains. Lao Man'e is a village in the Bu Lang Mountain range, not far from Lao Ban Zhang and also quite near Jie Liang village. Lao Man'e tea is something in between the extreme bitterness of Jie Liang tea and the bitterness with fast and sweet huigan of Lao Ban Zhang tea.

Spectacular!

"As I like a strong cup, I brew this tea for four full minutes in boiled de-ionized water which serves up quite the potent cup. The first thing I notice is the tea's chi which settles down in my tummy with a wonderfully warm grounding sensation! I'm then mesmerized by the tea's multiple, complex, unfolding flavors! An enchanting experience all around! WOW!"

Just like drinking whisky

"Strong, bitter and powerful tea. I was able to keep a session going for 10+ steeps at 15 seconds in a gaiwan before the tea started to come off less strong than when I started out. No real sweetness, but a dark roast coffee like bitterness with a chicory taste. Body feel gives a combination of a pulling, puckering sensation in the mouth and tingling of the skin, a soothing lightheadedness. Bringing this all together, it struck me how similar this feeling is to drinking a whisky. Even that lingering feeling in the throat after drinking a strong alcoholic drink is there."

Good year, exceptional tea

"Very tasty, clean, strong tea. Bitter of course, but not overly. I am definitely going for a cake. A bit unsure, which year, but 2024 seems to win the race."
