Mengku is a highly renowned Puerh tea-producing town and region, located in Shuangjiang County, Lincang, Yunnan Province, China. Considered the birthplace of large-leaf tea, it is particularly famous for its indigenous large-leaf tea tree variety, which yields some of the world's most sought-after, full-bodied, and mellow teas.
Flavor profile: Its golden liquor offers a floral aromatic bouquet reminiscent of chamomile, black mulberries, olives, as well as a hint of camphor and menthol that quickly dissipates. Smooth and silky on the palate, it leaves a milky impression. Despite its young age, it is flavorful and ready to drink!
