Product code:
CSTVI-211
This special edition of Menghai’s famous recipe (7542) is made with leaves from the 90s, stored in Hong Kong and finally pressed in 2006 for further aging.
This fine Pu Er bears the typical scents of Hong Kong storage: wet wood, dead leaves, garden soil and even a hint of leather. Skillfully aged, its infusion shows a very clean taste, with no excess of fermentation or dust, lingering in the throat and warming the breath. Notes of wet bark, dried fruits (prunes) and cocoa complete the profile.
*Please note that any cakes purchased may have slightly reduced in weight (up to 10%) due to changes in climate and relative humidity.
