China: Man Shu 2017 Sheng Puerh

曼樹喬木 Wild Arbor Gushu

It was picked in March 2017 and grown at about 1,900 meters from the Mengla tea area (where the Aini people live). The tea trees are located in the middle of the mountain, which is warm and humid all year round and surrounded by virgin forests.  The natural ecological conditions are excellent, with rich, fertile soil.  The older, the more fragrant it becomes. The leaves have a slightly higher oxidation rate and have started to mature very well.  Its youthful astringency is transforming into a savory, sweet & sour essence, thick and viscous liquid.  Dry aged and stone-pressed cake to preserve the quality of the spring-picked leaves.
