Entirely wild arbor tea from autumn 2019! Tea leaves taken from 80 to 120 years old tea trees growing wild in the Mang Fei mountainous area in Yong De county of Lincang. Full and stout one leaf to one bud ratio tea leaves. Mang Fei wild arbor tea has pronounced hairy buds and stout stems. The brewed leaves are a dark olive color.
The brewed tea is strong and full in the mouth with some astringency (as is typical of Lincang teas). The tea soup has a strong heavy aroma and cha qi. The tea can easily be brewed 10 times or more and still give off flavor. Incredibly high quality spring tea, which is strong, potent and very infusable!
Each cake is stone-pressed by traditional method and dried with low temperature air drying.
