SHENG PU'ER FROM MENG SONG OLD TREES 2015
ORIGIN
Menghai County is one of the most famous Pu’Er-producing regions located in the western part of the Xishuangbanna area, Yunnan Province, China. As well as the home of legendary fabrics, which produced the most iconic pu’er teas back in the 50s till 90s, this territory includes such legendary mountains like Nannuo, Bada, Hakei, Bulang (Laobanzhang, Lao Man Er, Mannuo), Meng Song and others.
These places are famous for their ancient tea trees and tea with a strong, intense, powerful taste.
The Meng Song Tea Mountains are located in the eastern part of Menghai County. Local tea gardens were discovered quite recently, at the end of the 20th century, but quickly gained recognition among Pu'Er tea connoisseurs. According to reports, the tea garden occupies 2,310 hectares, where 100–300-year-old trees grow, while the ancient garden occupies 270 hectares and consists of 500–700-year-old trees. The highest point above sea level is around 2,200 meters. Meng Song is the historical home of the Dai and Lahu peoples, who have been harvesting tea leaves from this area for a long time. Local tea is made traditionally by wok-frying and sun-drying. The unique climate, high altitude, rich soil, and perfect humidity create an excellent environment for the growth of tea trees, which gives this tea a particularly special character and taste. Tea leaves from this area are famous for their perfect combination of a sweet fragrance and bitterness as well as deep 'Cha Qi'.
ORGANOLEPTICS
The tea consists of premium early spring raw materials harvested from old tea trees. The excellent ratio of young buds and leaves promises a perfectly balanced flavour of the tea. Dry tea leaves, despite their fairly young age, have a light woody aroma. After warming up, the aroma develops into sweet, dried fruits. Rinsed tea leaves reveal bright, honey, fruity motifs. During the tea session, the aroma reveals aromatic woods and dried mushrooms. The infusion is dark beyond its years, amber in colour.
The taste amazes with its soft texture, depth, and versatility, with woody and dried fruit motifs. The tea is deep both in taste and effect, has a very calm 'Cha Qi', and warms and relaxes. The absolute absence of astringency and bitterness makes the infusion soft, like honey! Long, sweet aftertaste with wood and bread notes. A stunning, deep tea with great aging potential.
