Nannuo is a famous tea producing mountain in Menghai with many ancient tea trees including one king of tea trees that is estimated to be 800 years old. This cake was produced by our friend Mr. Yu under his private label Che Ma Xuan in 2010. The gaiwan lid gives a high floral fragrance with a hint of mentholatum and talcum powder. The tea itself has a full and complex flavour with some grape like sweetness and chicory aftertaste. Best of all is the price. It’s hard to find a cake this good, for around $60 these days.
