This ripe pu-erh tea from a small Menghai area producer has been stored in Xishuangbanna until late 2008 when it was brought to Kunming. The storage condition in Banna is much hotter and more humid than Kunming, but the tea was kept very well and it is very clean and tasty! There is a subtle spicy aged taste with no mustiness! The tea when brewed is very sweet, and aromatic. It’s very smooth and regardless of brewing time is not easily over-brewed. A straight-forward and enjoyable aged flavor is present that can be enjoyed by both novices and conneisseurs of ripe pu-erh!
We recommend brewing with a teapot and 100C water… wash at least once briefly (15 seconds). Use 5 or 6 grams per 100ml brewing device!
