For lovers of eastern plains.
To the west of the city of Lincang, in Yunnan, a mountain range splits in two as it wends its way southward, and the little region, Mengku, is a hallowed name in the world of Pu’er, with groves of ancient, spindly-branched Gushu.
In the shadow of the eastern ridge, the tea trees seem to have absorbed the minerality of the soil and the essence of nearby herbs: the wet leaves steam with the scent of wild spearmint, while the liquor carries the aroma of untamed grasses, as if blown from a nearby meadow or savannah; the sensation of menthol remains, coating the entire mouth like a cooling breeze. The slight sweetness, and notable astringency, of apple skin emerges slowly from subsequent infusions. It’s a Pu’er to take one on a romp through the fields.

Next up is this one from 2012. It was given as a free sample. Quite an interesting sheng in terms of aroma of the dry and wet leaves, which give dates and, when wet, leather with barley.
Mouthfeel is nice and thick on this one. Very minimal hui gan. Starts out with a nice, subtle flavor, but falls off pretty quickly after 3-4 infusions. Fairly disappointing tea after a fun aroma.
