Ancient Tea Garden leaves from Ban Po Lao Zhai, Nannuo Mountain
September-October 2019
Hand-processed by Da Fa
Available in 357g pu-erh tea cakes
A new edition of Da Fa’s work on Nannuo Shan. We’ve been working with him since 2012 and were never disappointed by his tea. This tea comes from the same gardens as the Spring 2019 release, sold out now.
The tea has a good balance between sweetness, fragrance and astringency. The bitterness is medium-low. Good overall strength for an autumn tea. Nannuo is one of the mountains to try if you want to understand the Menghai character.
Company description not available.
Nannuo sheng sold by Farmerleaf is not the most exciting tea, it is just very good. The clear highlight is its mouthfeel that’s among the most oily and smooth ones I’ve tried. Such a full bodied tea with no abrasiveness is a clear mark of quality material and processing.
The flavour profile is mostly sweet and floral with quite a lot of higher notes. Notes of cream, dry grass, thistles, pollen and alpine meadows appear throughout. Additionally, I picked up some fleeting aromas of orange zest, nuts and cooked leaf vegetables. There is a cooling aftertaste and a warming body sensation as well, neither of which makes the tea stand out in particular.
This is one of the best teas I can imagine as a young sheng introduction to newer tea drinkers.
