Spring harvest Mengku tea is pressed by stone in into the 500g cake. The name "Ben Wei Da Cheng " freely translated as The Original Flavor is The Best One , and this cake is very close but not exactly as we use to drink from Rongshi tea company at their factory in Megku. Tea liquor with chrysanthemum fragrance reminding famous Bing Dao tea, yet with some...

quite bitter with the first two infusions but slight sweetness comes after second-third brewing and so as color. Its a good daily drinker for decent price.
The spring tea material from small young arbor trees growing Mengku аrеа pressed in Shuang Jian into the 357g cake. This sheng pu-erh tea is very sweet from the first cup, chrysanthemum scent comes out from the teapot and tea liquor is not astringent or bitter. "Hui gan" is very slow and not that intensive. It is rather soft type tea , good as a daily...
Interesting piece of cake. It is slightly bitter with tiny touch of astringency which causes sort of boosting depth of that bitterness ( not the intensity ) . It gives overall bitter-sweet mouthfeel, not just in parts of the tongue ( like under, front, back etc. ) and slides into the noticeable "hui gan" after. After few steepings sweet sensation is...
Blend of young arbors from around Bing Dao аrеа with another tea from Shuang Jiang tea gardens. We can't say for sure how much of Bingdao is involved but characteristics are there. Intensive honey and chrysanthemum fragrance from the cup or pitcher and reflected in taste after in clear tea liquor which is not much astringent with slight bitter end....
Xiaguan sheng pu-erh tea 200g brick made for export to Tibet was stored in Sichuan province. Typical smokey notes with woody texture and slightly sour-sweet taste. Touch of wild mushrooms in combination with pine tree comes out of the gaiwan and tells you about balanced storage , not too dry / wet.
The medium rich tea liquor with dark chocolate bitter notes and very slight astringency , light "dui wei" which to be gone soon.. Not really hard pressed 357g cake needs around 3 infusions when all will start happening after. This is not a marathon tea runner but you can get out of it few solid infusions which would , in our opinion , qualify for good...
Spring harvest from Mengku young arbor tea trees. Combination new concept of processing "xin gong yi" ( more in blog ) and storage in the place of production , helped to tea leafs loose some astringency which would be normally much stronger in this type / age of tree. Transformation / aging from very green estate is already in taste and with right brewing...
