Nan Nuo Raw Puerh
Region: Nan Nuo Mountain Range, southwestern Yunnan Province
Type: Mid-Altitude Puerh (1000 meters)
Harvest: Summer 2014
Harvesters: Hani minority
On a flavor chart (and of course in consideration of who produces and how a production flows) Nan Nuo teas are not known for hitting any high bitter or astringent notes. They are traditionally known for a more moderate flavor range with soft and subtle notes of the earth and foliage. This offering from us is a kind of open ended honey flavor and soft vegetal blend that can easily stand longer infusion times or adding to the leaf amounts of a serving. Jeff often refers to a tea saying from southern Yunnan, that there can be “Seven different people sipping one tea, tasting 5 different flavor notes”, and he subscribes to the idea that a well made tea using great raw materials is in some ways the only fact that some within the tea realm can agree upon.
