Pu er Sheng 2001 Lahu Wild Trees 1000 Years Old (bitter)

Pu Er 2001 Lahu
Grand cru
Product code: CSTVI-264

Produced by Lahu people from Xishuangbanna, one of the ethnic groups in Yunnan, China, this aged tea is made from leaves of 1000 year old wild trees and has now passed the 20-year-ageing stage. It stands out for its powerful taste and its effect on the body.

This mixture of large and small leaves, browned by time, gives off rich scents of undergrowth and spices when rinsed. On the palate, its silky texture and powerful mineral notes are accompanied by fine nuances of leather and incense.

Its long menthol finish leaves an exquisite impression of fullness.

*Please note that any cakes purchased may have slightly reduced in weight (up to 10%) due to changes in climate and relative humidity.
