Our fifth year in production "Yi Dian Hong" aka Little Red is a great choice for a high quality but affordable ripe pu-erh tea from Menghai. This year's Little Red is made entirely from Nan Nuo mountain ripened tea from spring 2012. Fermentation process was done in the autumn of 2012 in Menghai town! Nice balanced taste! Sweet, pungent and slight bitterness all rolled into one tea. Light-Medium fermentation gives this a subtle cha qi and mouth-watering effect making this a good bet for long-term aging! 100 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)
