2021 Hai Lang Hao "Gao Shan Zhai" Yi Wu Mountain Ripe Pu-erh Tea

Hai Lang has done it again. Hai Lang collected 300 kilograms of Spring 2021 harvested mao cha from Gao Shan Zhai Village and had it painstakingly small-batch wet piled to perfection. After 43 days of wet piling in a Menghai area tea factory, this light fermentation ripe pu-erh tea was stored for many months before being pressed (in 2021) into these 500 gram bricks. Gao Shan Village is nestled in the Yi Wu mountains NNE of Yi Wu town and is one of the highest elevation villages in the Yi Wu range. Gao Shan village is inhabited by both Han and Yao people. Our material is the combined mao cha of two Yao families' tea gardens. Hai Lang is a pu-erh tea dealer and producer who has been around for 20 years. He's unapologetically direct and cares more about quality and one upmanship than he does about anything else. This is a good quality in a pu-erh producer, and it's that very quality that allowed him to undertake the expense and the risk to wet pile such a tea as Yi Shan Mo. 500 grams per brick Pressed in 2021
