These limited production(only 20 kg total!) 225-gram
bings are composed entirely of Spring, 2009 sun dried Pu-Erh tea that I had
the opportunity to select while in Xishuangbanna in the spring of
2009. All of the source
material was hand picked and hand processed on Lao Mansa tea mountain in
the western part of Mengla county right near the border with Laos, and I
had this tea pressed in a small factory in Jinghong using traditional
stone presses. Lao Mansa is one of the "six famous tea mountains," and
is considered part of the Yiwu tea growing region.
The tea leaves themselves are plump and juicy and consist primarily of in tact, new growth leaf/bud complexes. It is distinctively Yiwu in character, in that it is
sweet, mellow, approachable and easy to drink even at this young age.
The brewed liquor is honey gold, and the aroma is that of an obviously
young tea with some complex young vegetal attributes. It has a rich
& satisfying mouthfeel with a rich & long lasting sweet
aftertaste that settles at the back of the palate and throat.
