We have been selling and enjoying Mang Fei mountain teas since 2006, so we decided to use premium quality first flush spring leaves from Mang Fei mountain and press our own cakes. This tea cake titled simply "Mang Fei" (忙肺) is made entirely from March 2009 picked tea leaves! They were picked at an early stage of growth and are typically 1 leaf to 1 bud and 2 leaf to 1 bud sets! The brewed tea is fresh and vegetal with some flower notes! The cha qi is stimulating and cooling! This a great Yong De tea that has a lot of intensity for long-term aging! Date: March 2009 picked, November 2009 pressed Net Weight: 357 grams per cake (7 cakes per stack) Produced by Yunnan Sourcing Tea Company
