In Yunnan Province, the red soil is enriched with iron, so Pu'er tea also contains this valuable mineral, which is beneficial for the human body. Tea from this province contains more polyphenolic organic compounds, which are the most powerful antioxidants. Shu Pu'er has a beneficial effect on the health of the stomach and digestion in general.

MING FENG SHAN ANCIENT TREES BRICK TEA 2022
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
Upon first encountering dry tea leaves, you're welcomed by a delicate blend of woody, nutty, and confectionery aromas. The brewing process and the unfolding of flavors are distinct, influenced by the unique shape and density of the tea chunks. As they are heated, the scent deepens, revealing inviting notes of baked goods along with a caramel sweetness, accompanied by hints of milk, vanilla, and honey. This intriguing and unexpected aroma sets the stage for an exceptional tea experience. After rinsing the leaves, the fragrance evolves into an aromatic medley of wood, cream, citrus, and fruity notes.
These tea chunks can be steeped whole or crushed for quicker brewing. The resulting brew displays a rich, dark amber hue with reddish undertones. The flavor profile is smooth, sweet, and profound, marked by woody and nutty undertones, culminating in a lingering sweet finish. Its taste is complex, gradually revealing layers of prune, chocolate, and bread. Sipping this tea conjures images of a summer forest with its earthy aromas and conveys the ambiance of a spa retreat. With extended infusion, the tea transforms into a deeper, coffee-like essence, showcasing rich chocolate bitterness, woody tannins, and a long, sweet aftertaste tinged with a hint of freshness. Its texture is notably thick and creamy, with subtle hints of medicinal herbs, roots, and mushrooms.
Among Pu'er enthusiasts, there's a tradition of brewing this tea over an open fire for an extended period to achieve a denser, richer, and more complex flavor profile. Despite its youth, this tea boasts a remarkably gentle taste, devoid of bitterness or astringency, and lacks the off-flavors typically associated with very young Shu Pu'er. This is a finely crafted tea that promises to become even more intriguing over time, with significant potential for aging. Lastly, I want to emphasize the tranquil state this tea instills. It's an ideal choice for both morning motivation and evening relaxation, leading to a meditative experience.
