Made from early spring old-tree leaves harvested in Menghai in 2009, this ripe pu-erh has been naturally aged in Kunming dry storage. The cake is glossy with visible golden buds. Upon brewing, the classic "Menghai taste" emerges—a rich blend of woody notes, subtle date sweetness, and well-rounded aged aroma. The liquor is deep red, clear and bright, offering a smooth, full-bodied texture and a warm, lingering finish. A must-try for lovers of aged ripe pu-erh.
