This is a great deal on quality, family-direct Yunnan tea grown in super clean conditions on Jingmai Mountain! Originally sourced on our Kickstarter trip several years ago to Yunnan, we are happy to offer you this tea. Loose-leaf Pu-erh is also known as "Mao cha" and is simply tea that has not been pressed into cakes. Mao cha ages a bit faster as you might imagine but is harder to transport in any bulk. Therefore most of it gets pressed into either raw or ripe cakes. I suggest you go ahead and buy a pound of this and age it over the next several years drinking it every several months. Just store it in a large, loosely covered jar in most climates. It'll slowly thicken up, mellow out and take on interesting notes that change over the years. It's a lot of fun and very rewarding! Lightly oxidized mao cha like this is technically called pu-erh tea but can be considered a type of green tea or as a living tea called "sheng cha". This batch is fresh Spring 2020 hand-made loose leaf puerh tea. Grown organically without chemical pesticides but no certification. You can order a 10 gr. sample in the pull-down menu below or get better pricing with higher volume.
