This special pu-erh tea is using well-selected tea leaves from the big arbor-form pu-erh tea tree, which normally can only produce about 150 kilograms out of a ton of fresh tea leaves, The tea was produced by the very famous Yunnan Menghai Tea Factory in 2015.
The leaves are small and slender with a slight twist and covered with golden fuzz. The taste is mellow and smooth, earthy and with a hint of lotus flavor. Because it’s aged tea for four years, it also has a special, rich Chen fragrance. The tea soup is pure and clear and its color is similar to wine-red and amber.

It is produced in Menghai county, the famous home of Pu-erh tea and one of the earliest sites of tea production in China. The area is planted with ancient tea trees – the oldest wild tea tree here is about 1,700 years old. The leaves picked from these old trees are referred to as ‘wild arbour’.
The climate has both tropical and subtropical characteristics: The temperature differences from the southwest monsoon are small across the year, but quite large from day to day. Depending on altitude, the area can be divided into northern tropical and subtropical climate zones. It’s averaging about 18.7℃ in temperature, 2,088 hours sunshine time, 1,341 mm rainfall volumes and 32 days frost time in a year. Menghai is often very foggy as well – around 107 to 160 foggy days in a year. The soil layer is deep, fertile, slightly acidic (pH value between 4 and 6) and loose (good for drainage). The soil types there include red, yellow and lateritic, which have advantageous conditions for cultivating pu-erh tea trees.

This is a strong tea with distinctive notes of wood and smoke.
Amelie –
It reminds me of freshly chopped wood. Do you know the smell of getting the open fire ready in winter? Strong earthy taste, so maybe not one for novices, but if you like this style, it won’t disappoint.
Ryan W –
I found this tea to be fairly strong on the ‘funk’, although the earthy and woody flavors were pleasant. Perhaps not my personal favorite, but a distinctive and interesting tea all the same.
Natasha –
I have been drinking this tea for a few weeks now after meal times and have grown to really like its slightly woody aftertaste.
