Blended Menghai material Fermented in Menghai in Winter 2023, medium-light fermentation Aggressive character (for a ripe pu-erh) This tea has a fairly light fermentation and uses a blend of strong material from Menghai area. You can feel a light bitterness and some raw pu-erh characteristics. Its aroma reminds of wooden house with waxed furniture. It will evolve over the session. It's quite a different experience from the other ripes we've featured so far.
