Pasha is the largest ancient tea tree grove in Menghai, growing at high elevation, 1,800m above sea level. This exceptionally tasty cake was produced by our friend Mr. Yu under his private label Che Ma Xuan and is our favorite of his 2011 teas. The aroma from the gaiwan is strong and full, with delicious smoky, roasted almond & barnyard notes, over a base of honey and brown sugar. The tea is full bodied, thick and silky smooth. It tastes nutty, with chestnuts and sunflower seeds, with some bitterness and aged notes giving the tea body. A sweet aftertaste coats the tongue. A very rewarding tea that exemplifies Menghai gushu puer.

This Wangong cake produced by Xin Sheng Li Hao was made from trees deep in the forest, 3 hours walk from the nearest village of DingJiaZhai. The trees are very tall and climbing up to pick the fresh leaves is a dangerous job. This tea is exceptional, slightly smokey with an aroma of brown sugar, sweet flavor, creamy mouthfeel, and some of the largest, longest leaves we’ve seen.

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.
