Mao Cha Pu erh Sheng
Presentation : Directly from Yunnan. These are leaves harvested from genuine thousand-year-old and wild high altitude tea trees. These wild tea trees grow in the middle of nature in the Nanmei valley, near the eponymous village. The harvest only has about thirty kilos of fresh leaves per year. This justifies the rare and particular character of these leaves. Collected before Qing Ming, that is to say, before the festival of "pure light" or the deceased, and which takes place in early April in China. These leaves will be transformed into "Mao Cha" by another family of villagers, than the one taking care of the harvest. The 2nd family has greater knowledge and experience in processing leaves, but does not have the old tea plants.
Tasting : These rare and precious leaves are magnificent. Profusion of fruity aromas, animal scent, the leaves really smell very good. They inspire freshness and vast expanses. The liquor is fine, slightly yellow, very clear. A note of roasting, (slightly smoky) is present in the first cups, but it will fade as the infusions will become very fruity (summer and autumn fruits such as Plum, Mirabelle, Apricot, Peach), or even white grapes, from where a smell of vine shoots adding in addition to this smell and flavor of white grapes. The flavor will become sweet and smooth, like a sweet white wine, and the aftertaste will be persistent, fruity, very pleasant. Just tasty, balanced, fruity. Superb!
Do not hesitate to make many short infusions, because this is how these leaves should be tasted and they are more and more divine as you go.

From Yunnan. These are leaves harvested in 2011, on real millennial and wild tea plants, in altitude.
These wild tea trees grow in the middle of nature in the Nanmei Valley, near the eponymous village. The harvest only counts around thirty kilos of fresh leaves per year. This justifies the rare and particular character of these sheets. Picked before Qing Ming, that is, before the festival of "pure light" or the deceased, and which takes place at the beginning of April in China. These leaves will be transformed into "Mao Cha" by another family of villagers, than the one taking care of the harvest. The 2nd family has greater knowledge and experience for leaf processing, but does not own the old tea bushes.
