Nan Nuo Shan Spring 2020 Raw Puer Tea, 200g Cake
Another raw puer from the same tea garden on Nan Nuo Shan as the previous Nan Nuo teas. The tea has a bullish 'ru kou' that smooths out in later steeps. The 'hui gan' is marked and there's some honey-floral fragrance.
The trees don't qualify as 'da shu' or old tea trees, but the tea has many of the qualities of old tree tea: some decent body and some 'hou yun'.
The tea was processed by the same tea farmer who has made the Ban Po ancient tree teas. Pressed in 200g cakes.
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.

About Agrochemicals
I do not get all my teas routinely tested for agro-chemicals. I am extremely careful about which gardens I source from: tea gardens that are in a diverse, natural environment where there is no need for the use of agro-chemicals and which I am confident are all free of herbicide and pesticide traces.
In recent years anthraquinone in tea has become a talking point. I do not generally test tea for anthraquinone and, whilst I try my best to minimise the potential for it, I do not prioritise that over other factors. You can read more here.
