This was produced by the state-owned CNNP tea factory back in 1999 of which most was sent to Malaysia. It is composed of Menghai area fermented material. The leaves mostly larger but have been fermented not too heavily preserving the natural flavors of the tea leaves and allowing for gradual post-fermentation. Brews a super clear red-wine colored tea liquor. A delightful ripe pu-erh tea aged to perfection. This comes wrapped in plain white wrapper. No Nei Fei. Net Weight: 250 grams Ingredients: Yunnan Large leaf varietal fermented pu-erh Produced by CNNP from Menghai material
