Pu-erh Tea

2004 "Millenial Old Tree" Big Snow Mountain Mengku Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

This is a 2004 pressing by the Wan Shun Hao brand, a small Mengku area producer.  It's spring harvest tea from the Big Snow Mountain area of Mengku, and although the characters on the wrapper proclaim it as "Millenial Old Tree" (千年老树), it's most likely just tea from bushes or trees (not super old trees).  The brewed tea leaves are large and burly, with big meaty stems, so it's most definitely a quality production. The tea was stone pressed and then aged in Guangdong from 2004 until late 2017.  It is well aged and the brownish tea leaves and reddish tea soup attest to that.  It's a very smooth and full-bodied pu-erh with a lovely sweet and spicy taste and aroma.  It can be infused many many times and is graceful from start to finish. Incredible value in an aged raw pu-erh! 357 grams per cake 2004 Harvest and Pressing
