Cheng Shen Hao is a brand of Pu-erh that was started in 2008 by Mr. Chen Sheng He, a long time tea drinker and Guangdong native. In 2008 he signed a contract with more than 100 Lao Ban Zhang villagers for exclusive rights to their harvest. It was after this that Chen Sheng Hao brand pu-erh became known and soon after he began to produce teas from Yi Wu, Naka, Nan Nuo and Bu Lang as well.
This 2013 Spring Nan Nuo Shan production is a blend of Nan Nuo mountain area villages. Nan Nuo Mountainous area is one of the earliest tea cultivation areas in the world, with tea cultivation dating back well over 1500 years. Nan Nuo Shan area straddles the border of Menghai County and Jinghong County (Xishuangbanna).
The tea has been stored in Guangdong since 2013 and the hot and humid storage has helped it along by transforming it’s rough young nature into something more mature that gives us a glimpse into it’s future! The tea is so sweet and thick, with notes of honeysuckle and rock sugar. The tea soup is golden-yellow, viscous and pungent. Th tea gives a nice mouth-watering effect, but never dries the mouth or throat. The taste and feeling of tea lingers long after drinking. An excellent Nan Nuo Shan Raw Pu-erh in this price range!
