Type: Ripe Pu-erh (fermented) loose leaf Grade: unknown Production area: Menghai, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province
Taste characteristics: High quality aged ripe Pu-erh is increasingly rare these days. This thirty-plus-year-old Pu-erh is indeed a rare find. Lacking of the earthiness that is typical of a ripe Pu-erh, this tea, instead, possesses a bouquet of antique and herbaceous scents, characteristic that are only present in well-aged Pu-erh teas. The dark amber brew is translucent, but dense, much like an aged red wine.
Bana Tea Company is very proud to present this exceptional quality ripe Pu-erh for the discerning Pu-erh aficionado.
