2015 Yunnan Sourcing “Autumn Ma Li Shu” Old Arbor Raw 250g
Entirely Ancient Arbor tea from Autumn (October) 2015 Harvest from Ma Li Shu village (麻栗树寨) in Yi Wu mountain range. Ma Li Shu is just outside Yi Bang town, which is one of the six famous tea mountains in Banna. Yi Bang area teas are known for their special thick aroma and a taste that with age becomes stronger and more textured. This tea comes from old arbor trees between 150 and 200 years old growing naturally. When brewing the tea you will notice the tea soup is a bright yellow-gold and clear, the aroma is penetrating and the tea is full in the mouth. The flavor is textured and thick with notes of fruit and sugarcane with an umami-like after-taste. Being a typical mixed (large and small) leaf varietal, this is one of the more smooth and aromatic of the Yi Wu area teas. The brewed leaves are thick and stout with a dark olive-green color, attesting to their wild arbor origin.
