Description

Wonderful long leaves tinged with a purple color yield a highly aromatic Pu-erh that offers a surprisingly sweet, natural grassy note at the front end and a lingering, sweet-flavor finish. Tea is wild tree harvested, then sun-dried. The leaves are very strong and will yield multiple steeps. Steeped briefly, the taste is disarmingly sweet, natural and clean. Steep longer, the intensity of the flavor rises and hints of future maltiness come forth. These leaves will age and should do well if stored properly. This tea grew at an elevation of between 2100 and 2400 meters, thus creating the clear taste notes described herein. The tea trees that sourced this lot range in age up to 100 years and are deeply rooted into the soils creating this delicious tea. Produced in 2012.
