“Here’s a tea to remind one of the immense variety found in this plant and raw pu’er specifically. This Jing Mai is really quite different from anything I’ve had but it reminds me a bit of W2T’s If...” Read full tasting note
“I’m not usually a fan of Jingmai teas but this one is a winner. Floral, oily, powerful energy and $.25 a gram make this great bang for the buck. Oh yeah and I got over a dozen steeps.” Read full tasting note

Description

Although this is a 2018 pressing the tea itself is 2016 Spring harvested tea from Jing Mai Mountain area of Lancang County. Harvested in 2016 and then stored in Menghai for two years as mao cha (loose leaf raw pu-erh), this tea has lost most of it’s very young green character.

The light aging as mao cha combined with the medium leaf Jing Mai varietal gives this tea a fruity sweet character, strong aroma and full body. This is one of those teas that should be experienced as words don’t do it justice at all!
