From Yunnan Sourcing

We are proud to invite you to experience our aged pressing from Long Tang Village (龙塘 Dragon Pool)! Long Tang village is a small village in the northern part of Jinggu county at an altitude of 1500 meters.

We were able to acquire 50 kilograms of aged mao cha stored in a Long Tang village farmer’s home. Harvested in Spring 2009 from old trees ranging from 80-200 years, this tea has aged nicely in a loose leaf form!

The taste is smooth and sweet, with excellent body and pungent aroma! This will steep 10+ steeps gong fu style!

If you are looking for a lightly aged raw pu-erh that can be enjoyed now, look no further!

357 Grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)

50 kilograms in total

April 2009 Harvested Tea, Pressed in 2021.

A decent aged tea, that offers a good value.

The aroma is woody and floral initially. After the rinse, I can smell mostly peat, but also bean sprouts, camphor. It is noticably aged and a bit spicy.

Mouthfeel is oily and a bit bubbly, quite a bit better than in the entry level aged raw pu-erh one can get. The taste is particularly warm, but also sweet, mineral, herbaceous, and bitter. Sometimes I get even spicy, sour and woody hints in the profile. There are flavours of dry grass, malt, mushrooms, beetroot, and fireplace.

The aftertaste is clearly sweeter. There are notes of honey, yeast, and nuts that come to the foreground.
