For the production of this Shu Pu-erh, raw materials from old tea trees from the Manku region were used. The harvest is spring 2020, which is especially valuable since cheaper summer or autumn raw materials are more often taken for Shu Pu-erh.
WoodySingle raw materials (not blended) from old trees from 150 to 250 years old from one tea garden. The trees grow on a mountain slope at an altitude of 1800m and reach 2-3 meters in height.
Fermentation was carried out in the Menghai region by an experienced technologist using a special technology of low-run fermentation in bamboo baskets. This technology allows you to preserve as much as possible in the finished tea the full depth of taste and aroma of the original first-class raw materials.
Aroma: woody, fruity, and creamy.
Taste: soft, balanced, enveloping. The profile is woody, with notes of nuts, cream, and caramel. Over time, it will actively change and become more rounded and noble.

Briefly rinse the leaves. Decant and discard this infusion.
Infuse the first brew for 10 seconds.
