An Autumn tea from a tea garden in Man Gong in the Yi Bang area. Made from ancient tea trees.

These are 200 gram cakes of tea that have been pressed by hand (stone pressed).

The wet leaves have vegetal, tobacco, pepper and fruit aromas. The cup fragrance is of fruit and flowers.

The initial impression or 'rukou' is clean and sweet with some astringence and a slight bitterness. The flavour is big enough for an autumn tea with a decent amount of body and depth.

The aftertaste is sweet in the throat with floral notes that last for some time.

All Puer teas are hand picked, fired and rolled, or sometimes machine rolled. They are sun dried. Cakes are stone pressed.

Please be aware that because raw Puer tea is a 'post-fermented' tea it is in a process of continual change: as it ages, but also from season to season and even day to day, so the description here is a snapshot of the tea's quality and character, which should not differ significantly, but which none-the-less can change.
