Overview
Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
Fragrant and full bodied, this tea delivers notes of dark cherry with a fruit leaning sweetness. The texture is thick, with a noticeable creamy/milky quality to the soup. Using quality Menghai material, this tea comes from an extremely clean pile that was overseen by a tea technician who has been at it since the earliest Menghai Tea Factory shou productions. With excellent processing and 2+ years off the pile, this tea is incredible clean tasting, with no off notes or pile flavour. Pressed into small 5g biscuits, this tea is equally well suited to taking on the go or a relaxed gongfu session at home. $0.12-0.16/gram Region: Menghai, Yunnan Picking Period: Spring 2025
