Menghai Ripe Pu-erh

Bold, powerful and strong personality.

This tea carries the original Menghai taste, which is often lost through the fermentation process. Liu Yang selected early spring material from natural tea gardens in Pasha and Hekai to make this tea. It was fermented in a fairly small batch (less than 300kg) in 2020.

The result is stunning, we are very picky about ripe pu-erh because most of them are boring. This one has plenty to say, it features a light bitterness which makes the mouthfeel lively. You can feel the effect of the tea on the gums, just like in good raw pu-erh. The soup is thick, you can almost chew through it, like a good Belgian beer. You can brew it for over fifteen infusions and you’ll get a good buzz throughout the session. If you want a premium ripe pu-erh representative of the Menghai terroir, this is it.
