Man Nuo, Spring 2017 Ancient Tree Puer Tea, 200g cake

Raw Puer tea from selected ancient tea trees in Man Nuo.

A fulsome flavour with good thickness. A good balance between bitterness and sweetness. The 'huigan' is quick and lasts well and the broth has a distinct floral fragrance.

Unless stated otherwise, all my Puer teas are hand picked, fired and rolled. They are then sun dried. Cakes are stone pressed.

Please be aware that because raw Puer tea is a 'post-fermented' tea it is continually in a process of change: as it ages, but also from season to season and even day to day, so the description here is a snapshot of the teas qualities and character on this particular occasion, which should not differ significantly, but which will change none-the-less over time.

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.
