Alter Ego 2016 Spring Mansa Ancient Tree Huang Pian Raw Puer

Made using the huang pian from our 2016 WMD ancient tree raw puer, Alter Ego is arguably one of the best bang-for-your-buck teas out there. This tea retains all of the best qualities of our WMD raw puer: Complexity, depth, sweetness, high fragrance, and of course an immediate cha qi/energy. Huang pian material consists of the larger and older yellow leaves that are sorted out when processing raw puer. The result of pressing these leaves is often a tea that is somewhat softer and sweeter, not to mention considerably more affordable than its fresh-growth counterpart. While this tea can be considered a reflection of our WMD, it is still a powerful and full-flavoured raw puer in its own right – absolutely not your typical huang pian.
