Mengku Rongshi Big Leaf 2011 Spring

$152.90

This pu'er cake was produced in the Spring of 2011 by the Rongshi tea factory from tea leaves grown in Mengku, a township of Lincang prefecture, Yunnan province. It's been aged in Shanghai since release, and is an enjoyable daily drinker with lots of body and hearty structure in their tea. It's very balanced, with little bitterness or astringency. The tea brews a thick honey colored liquor with some charcoal flecks. The aroma is a mix of earth & granary, with some dry leather, a touch of sweetness, finishing with light forest notes. The tea flavor centers around a base of aged wood, hearty grains, steamed sweetcorn and a whiff of smoke. Honey comes thru on later steeps with noticeable huigan - a lingering sweetness on the tongue & throat. At a hefty 500g per cake, this is a good value, dry aged pu'er for everyday drinking. Please enjoy!
