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
The aroma of dry tea leaves has a bright, sweet, fresh fruit and berry aroma. Warmed and rinsed tea leaves reveal bright berry notes. Black currants, raspberries, cranberries, and some dried herbs. With further brewing, the aroma reveals notes of fried rice.
