2011 Yunnan Sourcing “Mu Shu Cha” Ancient Arbor Raw 400g
“Mu Shu Cha” (母树茶) refers to the mother tea trees of Mengku where the oldest and most primitive Yunnan Large Leaf varietal tea trees still flourish. This Mu Shu leaf comes from 100-300 year old tea trees growing near Bingdao village in the south of Mengku county of Lincang.
This tea cake is an intense cha qi filled experience. It is powerful with some astringency and bitterness, that is moderated by it’s old tree origins. First flush and picked fairly early in the growth stage makes this tea a pungent and floral affair. A strong tea that will likely cause tea drunkeness in even the most seasoned lovers of young sheng!
Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.
