Bamboo raw Pu Er tea is made from the Naka pure old tree Autumn Maocha in Sep, 2011; Supervised by JK tea expert in Menghai, plus strictly followed the traditional Bamboo Pu Er tea making process; this tea enjoys very thick taste with strong Naka Chaqi;
Carefully-selected the fragrant bamboo growing in Mengsong mountain, Menghai, this special fragrant bamboo, after burning the bamboo on the fire to get its fragrant & juice out, in the meantime, put the Maocha inside the Bamboo separately and press them hardly with a round stick, so the Maocha can become soft along side with the heat inside the bamboo; Only in this case, the tea aroma can mix up together with fragrant bamboo’s unique aroma & sweet bamboo juice. So that is why bamboo Pu Er tea has very little bitterness or astringency, and extremely welcome by local minority, as they don’t need to store & age the Pu Er teas to get good taste.
