Elevation: 1500 m
Trees’ age: >1000 y.o

Wild pu-erh tea from Myanmar, 1500 m. Ancient tea trees, more than 1000 years old.

There is no need to write that it’s a rare tea. Some Taiwanese tea houses redeem all this mao cha immediately after production and it does not arrive to tea market outside Myanmar and Taiwan.

Taste is unique but in classic Ye-Sheng tea style. Dry leaves aroma has unusual notes of grape wine. Tastes like no other wild pu-erhs we know.

There are notes of wine, berry jam, plum, grapes and cut wildflowers. The finish has light and beautiful fresh peach.

Cha Qi effect: calm, contemplation, tranquility.
