This was produced under the "Mu Ye Chun" sub-brand of Mengku Tea Factory. Mu Ye Chun Brand teas are entirely from Yong De county of Lincang, whereas Mengku Rongshi Brand teas are made from teas harvested in Mengku county of Lincang. This "chocolate brick" is made from 3 years aged ripe pu-erh tea and pressed in 2014, so as of 2017 it's 6 year old tea. The brick (like a chocolate bar) is scored to allow for easy sepration. Each little square is approximately 4 grams. The taste is smooth and woody, with a active sweetness that gradually opens with each brewing. 100 grams per brick Wet piled in 2011, pressed in 2014.
