Menghai Zao Xiang 2016 | Large-Leaf, Iron-Pressed Shu Brick

ORIGIN & HARVEST TIME

Yunnan, Xishuangbanna, Menghai, 2016

CHARACTER

A dark chocolate-colored shu brick, pressed from larger leaves. When dry, it has a sweet, oily, and earthy aroma, with a firm, resonant texture that promises quality. The larger leaves indicate a milder brew with a more gentle, restrained stimulating effect. Once steeped, it releases a sweet fragrance with nutty, earthy notes and an oily texture. Its deep burgundy-black infusion carries the characteristic flavors of Zao Xiang-style shu puer, with an even fuller body. An excellent value-for-money shu puer! Also available in its original 200g packaging.
