This is a learning Pu Er pack, to teach Pu Er lovers on how to distinguish the taste & aroma difference on old tree vs small tree Pu Er.
The two teas are from the same tea farmer’s two different tea plantations in Ban Po Lao Zhai village of Nannuo mountain in Menghai, Yunnan. The old tree Pu Er is from the tea plantation over 400 hundred years old tea tree; the small tree Pu Er is from the over 80 years old tea plantation.
The two teas, though from the village & mountain, due to the trees age different, their taste and aroma differs a lot. The old tree Pu Er tea is with thick, sweet tea taste and strong Chaqi.

Having unpacked the unmarkerd paper canisters from their platic bag, I left myself with no reference as to which one is the young or old tree, so I will refer to them as #1 and #2. This was accidental. However, It makes for an unbiased tasting experience.
I have sampled #1 twice and #2 once.
note: I have a cold at the moment and cannot clearly discern nuances of flavor and aroma. I will update this post once I have tried each tea a few more times under better conditions.
I brewed 5g of #2 with spring water, using a “standard competition tasting cup.” I let the water reach a boil and placed it in a steel thermos.
Seems pretty clear that #2 is the 400 year old tea. It really blew me away with its “Chaqi.”
The feeling is of something that comes from a remarkably pure, pristine place. there is a warm glow to the tea, it is refreshing, and deeply plesant to experience this tea.
I managed to brew approx. 1 liter of tea out of 5 grams of #2.
