MAO CHA FROM MING FENG ANCIENT TREES 2021
ORIGIN
Ming Feng is a small area in Lincang, Southwest Yunnan. This place is not famous but produces a high-quality tea harvested from ancient tea trees grown high in the mountains. Average altitude is about 2100 m above sea level and tea trees are about 350-500 years old. Perfect environment as well as 100% nature farming and traditional handmade processing gives this tea highest score speaking about the quality and aging potential. Noble tea with its own original character and deep, rich aroma and taste.
Zi Ya (Purple bud) - purple tea is made from tea leaves mutated, adapting to the local microclimate. This variety mostly found high in the mountain. This is a mutation that occurs when exposed to the sun. The plant requires blue and violet light spectrum for harmonious growth. In areas with too much sunlight, plants lack blue-violet light and as a result, due to a complex biochemistry inside the tea leaf, it changes its colour into purple. In addition, this tea has a unique, delicate, sweet, floral flavour.
Mao Cha translates as a "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 which is ready to be steamed and pressed in case of Sheng Pu'Er production. This type of tea is used for blending and further storage before being pressed into 'cakes'.
