Aged Yunnan Lincang Ancient Tree Raw Pu-erh Loose Leaf Tea
We have cooperated with the Du’s family from Lincang area of Yunnan for six years already. When we first visited their tea garden in Xiang Zhu Lin, Di Ma Village of Lincang, we are very impressed by the natural environment surrounded with big puerh trees. Xiang Zhu Lin is one of the 16 important ancient tea garden of Lincang. Many of the big tree is more than 100 years old, some of them is around 200-400 years old , most of the trees is around 4-10m height.
This selection of aged raw puerh are the batch we have purchased from them from 2018 to 2020, each batch is made of large leaves variety from wild ancient tree in natural environment, plucking tea buds with 2-3 leaves. You can taste-test each pack from different years to see the differences between aged pu-erh from different years.
Tasting Notes:
Spring 2018 batch: stored for 6 years, the tea is transformed into mellow taste with aged puerh tone, well layered and balanced honey and fruity notes
Spring 2020 batch: stored for 4 years, the tea is lightly aged and transformed, it still has strong fragrance, bitterness and astringency is gone but with strong “hui gan” (sweet aftertaste), it is apparent in its sweet floral fragrance and lingering finish.
