Cultivar: Big arbor puerh
Harvested : Mid 1980s
Origin: Menghai Factory, Yunnan, China
Process: raw, sun dried, unblendedThis raw loose puerh was originally purchased by the Menghai Tea factory. It is an unblended and unsorted harvest from high altitude, old arbor puerh trees. The exact origin of this Mao Cha is unknown. Next, it was purchased by a Taiwanese tea seller who stored it very well, in a clean environment.
In the 80s, puerh tea factories would usually start by sorting the leaves according to their size before blending different areas and sizes according to their own recipes. Here, we have leaves that are unsorted. This means that this loose puerh contains buds, big leaves, branches… This provides a healthy natural mix for the tea to age well.
This tea achieves excellence on the 2 characteristics that we strive at with an old puerh: the wooden old scents and the fresh, pure taste!
It is like silk on the tongue, refreshing and lively! The taste is powerful, mind blowing and never ending. The fragrances are intoxicating and complex like Cognac. Energy pure tickles my tongue and warms my whole body.
It’s a tea that can be brewed to its last drop. These leaves have so much to teach about why old puerh is so sought after… but it has to be experienced…
