Leaves from the "da ye zhong" 大叶种 large leaf variety, picked from 300 year old ancient trees "gu shu". Sheng pu'er (raw pu'erh) mao cha harvested in mid-April 2023 on Dong Guo Mountain, at an altitude of 2,000m, in Yongde area of Lincang district, Yunnan province, China.
 
The tea presents a delicate profile with good energy, subtle veggies and nectarine notes, and hints of umami. The brew offers an especially light hue paired with a medium body, ending on a slightly sourness, sweet aftertaste.
 
Very limited quantity is in stock, in fact we never intended to sell it loose, as we sourced this tea mostly for our own study and interests. This is the first time we're introducing tea from Yan An Shan 岩岸山. While it's challenging to appreciate its full potential in its youthful state, every stage of its maturation fascinates us, as we continue to experiment and evaluate it in different storage conditions.
 
Needless to say, as all our tea from Yunnan, this tea was grown naturally in a sustainable environment without the use of pesticides, nor fertilizers.
 
This tea is suited for both beginners, and experienced with young sheng. You're welcome to visit our studio and taste it.
