The Mengyang Guoyan factory of Menghai produced this cake entirely of Spring 2005 material taken from high altitude established plantation trees on the southern side of Nan Nuo mountain. Just 5000 kilograms were produced in total. The leaf-rolling was done wells and lots of 2 leaf to 1 buds are still intact. A nice balanced tea that takes multiple steepings well and delivers complex enough flavors. Tea producer: Mengyang Guoyan Tea Factory Area: Menghai (Nan Nuo Mountain) Vintage: Spring 2005 raw material
