Scientific studies proved that tea leaves from Pu’Er trees contain more polyphenolic organic compounds, which are the most powerful antioxidants than tea leaves from other regions. Sheng pu’er strengthens the cardiovascular system, vitalizes the nervous system, supports brain activity, reduces blood pressure, and has anti-inflammatory properties.

MAO CHA FROM MING FENG ANCIENT TREES 2021
ORIGIN
Ming Feng Shan is a small region located in Lincang, Southwest Yunnan, known for producing exceptional quality tea from ancient trees that thrive in the high mountains. Situated at an average altitude of around 2,100 meters above sea level, the tea trees in this area are between 350 and 500 years old. The combination of this perfect environment, 100% natural farming practices, and traditional handmade processing methods results in tea that receives top marks for its quality and aging potential. This noble tea boasts an original character, deep aroma, and rich flavor, with its Mao Cha sourced exclusively from ancient trees untouched by human intervention, contributing to a diverse genetic pool.
Tea from the Ming Feng Shan area is a prime example of authentic Pu'er, harvested from 350-500 year-old trees and crafted using time-honored techniques by local minority communities residing in the mountains. Our selection includes tea leaves available in pressed cakes of 200 grams or 357 grams, as well as convenient 8-gram balls.
This Shu (Ripe) Pu'er is made from exceptional raw materials, carefully harvested in early spring from aged trees. It is characterized by a smooth, deep flavor accompanied by a sweet, lingering aftertaste, along with a gentle yet noticeable "Cha Qi," a quality that is often elusive in Shu Pu'er. Pu'er from the Ming Feng Mountains consistently impresses with its high quality, complex profiles, and well-balanced taste.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Dry tea leaves have a strong, sweet, honey fragrance, with fruity, citrus, and vegetal notes. A very rich and multifaceted aroma speaks of the first-class quality raw material and excellent storage conditions. Warmed tea leaves have a bright, vanilla, creamy, bakery aroma, with floral caramel and honey motifs. Rinsed tea leaves open into exotic fruits, flowers, and berries. At higher temperatures, the aroma of the leaves develops into more woody motifs.
The taste of tea is rich, deep, and soft, with honey, fruity, and herbal notes. Exotic fruits like mango, pineapple, and passion fruit. The tea has a mellow, honey-like texture, with a slight menthol freshness, and a sweet and long-lasting aftertaste. At a higher temperature and longer infusion, the taste has a restrained bitterness and astringency, perfectly accompanying the deep, slightly viscous taste. All these are numerous components of one wonderful tea experience. After two years of aging in natural storage, this tea became softer and rounder in taste, and also began to give a darker color to the infusion. The tea has a warming and calming effect, as well as the obvious energy of high mountains.
