Country: China
Region: Yunnan
Format: Pu Erh Shou nugget
This Pu-Erh comes from Menghai, renowned for the highest quality standards in aged teas. These "cooked" (shou) tea nuggets are the result of a long aging of tea leaves; over time, the leaves at the bottom of the baskets get crushed and pressed together. Thus, the aging conditions are changed so that the taste and benefits are enhanced and made more complex; giving another dimension to Pu-Erh.
On the palate, it offers incomparable smooth and sweet notes reminiscent of milk chocolate, dried dates, and a hint of mushroom. This is one of the most unique and pleasant Pu Erh Shou! It also offers one of the greatest numbers of re-infusions.
