Description

Probably produced by a small Menghai area tea factory produced under the CNNP (zhong cha) label. Likely not a licensed CNNP production!

Stored in Menghai since 2003, this has aged nicely with some wetter storage notes. Overall the storage condition was very clean and the cake has a high level of aroma as well as that characteristic Mengsong flower, bitter and astringency! Can be infused many many times!

Nice example of a Banna stored Mengsong mountain area tea!

400 grams per cake (paper tong wrapper)
