TSNG011 - Mengsong Dashu Shengcha 2023

Product detailed description

Overview
Premium sheng puer tea from the Mengsong Tea Mountain (勐宋), which was harvested in the spring of 2023. The tea leaves come from old tea trees (dashu 大树) and were hand-picked and processed by Shanshan's cousin Yukan. Yukan belongs to the Bulang ethnic minority (布朗) and focuses on producing teas from the Bada (巴达), Bulang (布朗), Mengsong (勐宋) a Nannuo (南糯) tea area. Mengsong teas (勐宋) can be characterized by a distinctive flower-fruity profile with a slightly sour aftertaste. The tea is sold in the form of a cut bamboo stuffed with sheng puer tea  (zhutongcha 竹筒茶), where you can prepare your tea without measuring the amount. Each bamboo tea weighs about 9 g (± 10 %). Tea should be consumed within a few years, but with proper archivation, it can be stored in the long-term.

The tea box features the Banna House logo and descriptive stickers, including recommended tea preparation. In the gift package, you will find 6 bamboo teas (zhutongcha 竹筒茶) with a total weight of 50 g (± 10%).
