The legend of the Moon Princess is a famous one in Chinese history. Her name is Chang’e and she lives on the moon with a giant rabbit. She is immortal, but is banished to the moon and cannot leave. She plays an important role in the Autumn harvest and festivals.
We continue to be impressed with this tea. We pressed the 2016 material last year and this year’s material is just as good! This material is a delicious example of Autumn material. Autumn material often lacks the strength that similar Spring material will have. The material comes from Bangdong. Bangdong is so close and so similar to Xigui that most people would sell this material as Xigui ‘area’.
The aroma is vegetal with hints of sweet corn. The body is thick and immediate. The flavor is orchid sweetness with a slight bitterness and some astringency. There is a sweet aftertaste that lingers. The tea can brew quite strong if you let it.

Autumn harvest sheng with a good amount of astringency and bitterness. The initial sip of this is very smooth with the scent of leaves from a dry wooded forest. It has a wonderful lingering sweetness that is balanced with the bitter and astringent notes. This is the sheng I give folks to first introduce them to puerh. It is a great affordable cake.
