Product detailed description
Overview
Premium sheng puer tea from the ancient tea mountain Mangzhi (漭支), which was harvested in the spring of 2022. The tea leaves come from ancient tea trees (gushu 古树) and were hand-picked and processed by Shanshan's cousin Wangjia. Wangjia belongs to the Yi ethnic group (彝族) and focuses on producing teas from Yibang (倚邦), Yiwu (易武), Mangzhi (蛮砖), Gedeng (革登) a Mangzhuang (莽枝) mountain areas. The Mangzhi teas are often characterized by a distinctive flower-fruity profile with a sweet aftertaste. The tea is sold in the form of a pressed tea cake (bingcha 饼茶) weighing 200 grams, which is suitable for long-term storage.
