Aged Ripe Pu-erh Tea

Over time, tea crafted from quality raw material transforms under proper storage conditions. The Chinese have an elegant expression that captures this unique quality of Pu-erh: "The older, the more fragrant" (Yuè Chén Yuè Xiāng).

This ripe Pu-erh was made from leaves harvested in 2007 in Mojiang County, Pu'er City. The fermentation followed the classic wodui technique and was carried out by a true veteran of ripe Pu-erh production — our uncle, Mr. Zhang Guoming, who worked at the renowned Menghai Tea Factory No. 2 until 1981.

Thanks to the high transformation potential of the raw material and over 19 years of post-fermentation, the tea has reached its full maturity and is ready to be enjoyed right now. Its distinctive aroma carries the complexity and depth found only in well-aged tea.

At first encounter, notes of wood, resin, and licorice come forward; after rinsing the leaves, a sweetness of fruits and berries unfolds. Much like its aroma, the rich flavor abounds with shifting layers, revealing and highlighting the unique character of the blend. A tea with a mature personality that has reached its full bloom.
