Natural tea gardens from Lao Man E village, Bulang Shan, Menghai
Good minerality, punchy and entertaining
We couldn’t finish the 2023 year without releasing an Autumn Lao Man E, this is one of our favorite village for good Pu-erh tea. Processed by Ai Xiang Nan, as usual, his production doesn’t disappoint.
The tea feels fresh. Medium bitterness and astringency give good dynamics to this tea. It feels lively and highly mineral. It bites the mouth for a few seconds, and flows downs easily as you swallow it. This makes it an energizing daily drinker that will keep you fueled for a dozen infusions. It’s also a safe bet for aging.
Company description not available.
Deep, dry, roasted seaweed, woody, earthy, bitter and astringent. Hints of lingering sweetness and basil. This tea can quickly become overly bitter. It is really nice and punchy when you steep it a little under boiling and for shorter times. If you overdo it, you will taste nothing but bitter and astringent tea. While I enjoyed this tea quite a bit, I’m not recommending it as there are so many other cakes from Farmerleaf this year that I recommend more and I do not think this is an amazing cake for someone who is new to Puerh.
Flavors: Astringent, Basil, Bitter, Dry, Earthy, Seaweed, Sweet, Woody
