In Bloom 2017 Jingmai Raw Puer

This year we spent a considerable amount of time in Jingmai, allowing us to source an exceptional tea that’s become our 2017 In Bloom. Pressed from mixed picking (huncai/混采), this tea contains material from both younger and old trees growing in the same garden. This mixed picking allows for extra depth of flavour and a true-to-the-land taste, while keeping the price well below pure gushu tea. Jingmai is often noted for its orchid fragrance, which this tea delivers in spades. The fragrance endures and lasts well after you‘ve taken a sip, accompanied by a nice huigan. Ultimately, it embodies everything we hope to find in a Jingmai raw. $0.30/gram
