This Gong Ting grade ripe tea is a from a wet pile batch done entirely from Bu Lang Mountain (Menghai County) tea leaves harvested in 2017 and wet piled in 2018!
Gong Ting grade ripe pu-erh tea is the smallest leaf grade, has a very potent cha qi, with a thick tea soup, dark chocolate like bitterness and fruity sweetness.
The Bu Lang origins give this tea a sweetness and complexity that is totally unique to Bu Lang ripe pu-erh teas.
For those of you who purchase this tea during the year of 2018 expect that there will be a fairly strong wet pile taste throughout 2018, but one that will fade gradually as tea ages. Remember pu-erh increases in palatability and complexity with age! In Chinese we refer to this as 越陈越香.
