2025 Yunnan Sourcing "Meng Song Village" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake
This ripe cake is pressed from a wet pile batch made entirely from Meng Song area (Menghai County) tea leaves harvested in 2024 and wet piled in late 2024!
Meng Song ripe tea has a very potent cha qi, with a thick tea soup, dark chocolate like bitterness and fruity sweetness. Pure Meng Song ripe tea is relatively rare. It has a unique bitter-sweet character with a fast hui gan and a touch of licorice sweet after-taste.
For those of you who purchase this tea during the year of 2025 expect that there will be some wet pile taste throughout 2025, but will fade gradually as the tea ages. Remember that pu-erh increases in palatability and complexity with age! In Chinese we refer to this as 越陈越香.
