Pu er Sheng 1996 Menghai

Here is a loose leaf Pu er from the Menghai region which has since aged under dry storage in Hong Kong.
The infusion of the large leaves, in multiple shades of dark khaki, fills the air with the fragrance of damp undergrowth and camphor. Its liquor is full and mineral, having a vegetal character (lichen) nuanced with accents of burnt wood and acid fruits.
It's finish is marked by a generous persistence of tannins.
