2024 Mae Nam Kun Ripe Pu-erh Tea Loose

Material from 200-300-year-old trees of Thailand was collected over several years and then, in the form of loose sheng, transported to Menghai for fermentation.

In the aroma, there is dark chocolate, milk, sea salt. Attentive tasters will also be able to detect warm notes of fresh pastries.

In the taste — again dark chocolate, this is the main melody of this tea. The milky and pastry notes are not as distinct as in the aroma, but they are also easily read.

Loose shou, unlike cha tou, has a more pronounced bitterness. It may seem obtrusive to someone, but without this component, the tea would lose its fullness of taste. I drink both loose and heads with pleasure.

Loose tea brews faster than heads, requires no warm-up at all, and a gaiwan is excellent here for continuous brewing.

The bitterness will go away with age. I think in a year it will be completely gone, just like the tea itself...

Cha Qi

There is not a lot of caffeine here, as sometimes happens, but the tea invigorates quite well and, at the same time, relaxes. It is excellent for morning hours and sets a good mood for work.
