Phou San Mountain Dark is a hand-rolled, young, sheng pu’er-style dark tea grown on Phou San Mountain in the northeastern province of Xiangkhouang, Laos. Like pu’ers from Yunnan, China, this Laotian version is plucked, withered, panned, rolled and dried in the sun, allowing enzymatic and microbiological activities to begin the fermentation process. Under good storage conditions, it will continue to ripen over years, developing complex characteristics. Phou San Mountain Dark is at an early stage in the process and the tea’s taste is characterized by a sweet earthiness reminiscent of honey and stone fruit.

LaifufuThe first thing to pique my interest in this tea was the appearance of the dry leaf. Some of the longest leaves I have ever seen for tea. It has that fermented taste of a sheng with rich earthy notes. Very smooth mouthfeel. Somewhat bready. A few honey notes, but it’s not the sweet honey many know, it’s closer to a Manuka honey. The astringency starts to come out past one minute. Reminds me of some Ceylon greens with a slight metallic note. An interesting spicy note happens at 3 mins and above. It’s somewhat hard to describe. The wet leaf aroma is a bit fishy with seaweed and fish market notes. The liquor smells of slight miso, umami, and seaweed. With more time I could see this one developing some very interesting complexity. I will store this and see if it will produce some different notes.
