From Yunnan Sourcing

Nuo Wu Village is in Mengku County of Lincang. It’s about 4 kilometers (as the crow flies) south and slightly east of Bing Dao village in the highlands on the eastern side of the Mengku River. Bing Dao on the western side of the river is at 1550 meters altitude, whereas Nuo Wu is at 1800+ meters altitude.

The Nuo Wu Village tea garden tea trees where our material comes from are 80-200 years old and grow naturally without human intervention. The trees are typical Mengku large leaf varietal that have grown in this area of Yunnan since ancient times. The leaves are olive green, thick and stout. The brewed tea is thick and sweet with bitterness that fades and transforms into something cooling and lubricating in the mouth and throat.

A total of 40 kilograms in total was produced. We pressed these tea cakes with a stone-press and used low-temperature drying to preserve the integrity of the tea.

Net Weight: 400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)
Harvest time: April 2017
Harvest Area: Nuo Wu village, Mengku county, Lincang Prefecture
Total Production amount: 20 kilograms

This tea has been tested in a certified laboratory for 191 pesticides, and is within the EU MRL limits set for those 191 pesticide residues.

Finished a sample of this last weekend. Excellent sheng! The intense honey-florals that gave me a headache previously have faded. The taste is still very rich though less so than when I first tried it 5 years ago. It’s like vanilla pudding with cardamom and apricot preserves. Viscous-colloidal and sweet, light bitterness, butterscotch, mineral depth, a hint earthy with tobacco, a little astringent after swallow but mouth is coated with tea oil and flavor. Cool aftertaste morphs between pine, vanilla pudding, tobacco, beeswax, pollen. The hot leaf is a treat with baked peaches, cinnamon and cardamom. Relaxing.

Edit: This cake is almost twice the $/g than what it was 5 years ago. Now it’s $0.93/g. I’ve paid that much for other sheng but it’s still a shock.

Outstanding Quality!

This raw buddy blew my mind! Already the bouquet of those steaming leaves is hard to place. It is so unique that at first your mind starts to figure out what it is but you definitely know one thing from the start “This is going to be amazing!” – This raw young Sheng is so masterfully composed I think the best I had so far (now this fellow climbed

up to be number one for now) – it is so unbelievably silky soft sweet with an aroma of vanilla pudding and beeswax – also taste-wise this buttery soft silky texture unfolds in such sweet deliciously flavors of buttery bakery sweets, bourbon vanilla pudding notes, milky honey-ish fine layers and floral herbal notes of ginkgo (maidenhair tree), blackberry leaves but also actual blackberries and camomile! Wow! I just got an epiphany what its taste reminds me of – there is a certain Portuguese warm sweet made of vanilla pudding and flaky pastry called Pastéis de Nata – this stuff is highly addictive as this Sheng is too and this aroma and taste is one of its kind! Even steeping it for a longer time (around 40/50 seconds) those not make it bitter! This Sheng is highly highly MASSIVELY recommendable!
