There aren't any tasting notes for this tea yet.
This tea is from Bulang Mountain and was made in the spring of 2009 by applying ‘one bud with two leaves’ plucking standard to Menghai large-leaf tea bushes.
There are 11 distinctive grades of Pu-erh. The highest grade is called ‘palace grade’ which means that it consists of the most tender leaves, as well as golden buds that produce a delicate, soft taste. Usually, when making a pu-erh teacake, the ‘palace grade’ material gets blended with materials of lower grades to make the tea darker and stronger.
The Menghai Golden Buds Ripe Pu-erh Teacake of 2009 is made entirely from ‘palace grade’ material, therefore it can be a bit too light for those who are accustomed to stronger teas. However, it’s a great choice for those who enjoy a more delicate taste.
