Mang Fei 2011 Spring
$52.00400g
Mang Fei 忙肺 is a tea growing region north west of Yongde town in Lincang prefecture. Mang Fei's tea trees were all cropped to the ground in recent decades, and are now waist high bushes growing from 100-200 year old stumps, at 1,500m elevation. This generously sized 400g cake was produced by the Mengdai factory, who have been making puer since 1996 and have a reputation for good quality. From the first pour, a sensuous honey & floral aroma floods the nasal cavity. The mouthfeel is extremely smooth & pure, with a light taste of melon & nectar, and finishes with a pleasing huigan.Qty: -

Guan Zi Zai - Bulang 2009
$35.00400g
Produced by Guan Zi Zai (which means "the goddess of mercy is present"), this 2009 Bulang blend is surprisingly sweet, yet has a bitter aftertaste that fades quickly. Slightly smoky, there is a subtle but noticeable huigan, and a slow, creeping chaqi that suddenly reveals itself in a moment of happiness. This is not a typical Bulang cake, but it's fun to drink and priced accordingly.Qty:

$48.00100g
This Lishan Tie Guan Yin (梨山鐵觀音) has pungent aromas of ripe fruits & sandalwood that hits the back of the nose. Produced at Lishan Diao Qiao Tou tea farm (梨山吊桥头茶区) in 2005 winter, it is slightly insect-bitten, and yields an orange liquor that tastes of roasted almond, dried lychee and citrus fruits. Withered for a longer time than usual, then roasted according to the Min Nan style (閩南風格), using lower temperature and multiple roasts, this tea was roasted 9 times over charcoal. Relative to other Taiwan oolongs, it is heavily oxidized and heavily roasted. The tight dark balls make a satisfying iron "ping" noise when dropped.Qty: -
