MAO CHA FROM DA XUE SHAN ANCIENT TREES

ORIGIN
Da Xue Shan 'Big Snow Mountain' is one of the most famous mountainous areas in Yunnan province. Due to the high altitude pu'er tea from this area is considered as one of the most high-mountain in a whole Yunnan. There is a big area of very old tea trees, which cover over 800 ha and most of them are 1000+ years old. The average temperature is 11 degrees Celsius, annual rainfall is 2000 mm and the soil is yellow-brown clay with a high content of organic micro-elements.

This Mao Cha comes from 300-500-year-old trees growing around 1000+ years old trees. It is 100% natural farming, with no involvement of people. Very rich tea in terms of gene pool. Unique and exquisite tea for connoisseurs of Gu Shu tea.

Mao Cha translates as "rough tea" and means that this tea is unfinished and is in an intermediate stage of production. This term is used for a tea material that is ready to be steamed and pressed in case of Sheng (Raw) Pu'Er production or further fermentation process during Shu (Ripe) Pu'Er production. This type of tea is also used for blending and further storage before being pressed into 'cakes'.

ORGANOLEPTICS
This incredible beautiful tea consists of high-quality raw material. Glossy dark tea leaves have a sweet floral fragrance with a hint of forest berries, After arming up tea leaves aroma develops into strawberry and cranberry notes. After rinsing some herbal notes appear and finally create a sheng profile. The taste is sweet and sour, smooth, and at the same time multifaceted. Some woody and dried fruit notes. Very powerful tea with strong Qi and a long-lasting sweet aftertaste. Very a unique tea due to its rareness and high quality!
