The classic 7581 Ripe Pu-erh recipe from Kunming Tea Factory (aka CNNP). This is a 2003 production and is comprised entirely of fermented Menghai area large leaf varietal Pu-erh. The brewed tea is sweet and smooth. The color of the tea liquor is deep red wine hue. There is a strong aged taste with camphor and even some slight smoke/tobacco taste in it. The tea has been aged in Kunming from 2003 to 2010, and then in Guangdong from 2010-2025 (and moved to our Kunming warehouse in January 2025)! Very clean and high level of aroma Vintage: 2003 Producer: Kunming Tea Factory (CNNP) Tea Weight: 250 grams
