2020 Yunnan Sourcing “Wu Liang Mountain” Aged Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

Description

Wu Liang Mountain First Flush of Spring 2007 tea leaves were picked and processed into mao cha (loose leaf raw pu-erh tea) and then aged for 13 years in Jinggu county of Simao before being pressed in March 2020.  The storage condition in Jinggu was clean with a moderate amount of humidity (wetter than Kunming, but not as wet as Guangdong)  giving the tea a nice rounded aged taste!

The tea itself is burly and largish attesting to it’s originating from mature tea trees (not plantation tea).  It can be brewed many times and imparts a balanced cha qi.
