Description
This Grand Cru comes from Mangfei. The leaves were harvested in 2021 at an altitude of over 1,500 metres. It is a Sheng tea cake, which is a "raw" Pu Erh that ferments naturally after 10 years.
A tea which develops sophisticated apricot, vegetal, floral and vanilla fragrances against a silky texture.
