Origin: Thailand
Harvest: 2006
Elevation: 1300 m
Trees’ age: 200-700 y.o.

Very well aged 2006 raw pu-erh tea of Hong Tai Chang brand. Province of Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand, 1300 meters. The material is from leaves of ancient and wild trees, 200-700-year-old.

This pu-erh has been masterfully made. The technology has been transferred from the old masters of the famous Hung Tai Chang brand and is still kept in secret. If you like pu-erhs from Yiwu region of Malaysian storage (YQH brand, for example), then this sheng is for you. The same style, something alike in taste, but with its own character.

Multifaceted taste, where honey is intertwined with a bouquet of meadow flowers and a variety of dried fruits, raisins, and walnuts. Notes of plum are also present. The infusion looks like a dark amber, it’s absolutely clear. Full-bodied, very smooth (balanced) and intelligent. Velvety and spicy aftertaste remains long after the drinking.

One of the main favorites of our collection.

Growing Region: Province of Chiang Mai, north of Thailand, 1500 meters. The tea is made from old and wild 200-300 years old trees. This Sheng resembles a sheng of purple bushes in looks – the tea is very dark for its age. This is my absolute favorite among Thai Shengs.

Pressing: Industrial press

Dry flavor: Raisins, tree bark and spices. Neat leaves are carefully ripened. The infusion looks like dark amber, it’s absolutely clear.

Taste: Full-bodied, very smooth (balanced) and intelligent. Nice raisin profile laced with spicy woody tones. Notes of plum are also present.
Velvety and spicy aftertaste remains long after the drinking.

Effect: This Sheng is very strong tea, one of the most powerful of all pu-erhs in our collection.
