Description

Loose Raw Pu-Erh Flavor Profile

Raw pu-erh is also known as green, uncooked, sheng, or shen pu-erh. This loose raw pu-erh has a flavor that reflects the Jing Mai wilderness where it grows:

  • strong
  • complex
  • smooth
  • fruity

Very delicious and flavorful now, this maocha will also improve nicely with proper storage.

Maocha: Loose Pu-Erh

Maocha is un-pressed Pu-Erh and so every leaf is intact.

Qiao Mu: Old Tree Tea

This Pu-Erh is harvested only from tea trees over 80-100 years old. The old-growth trees grow naturally without the use of pesticides, and provide a special complexity of flavor.

About Jing Mai

Jing Mai borders Myanmar on the south and west and is the home to several tea-making and tea-loving ethnic minorities.

Collectively, the ancient tea plantations of Jing Mai Mountain in Yunnan Province form the largest cultivated tea plantation in the world. More than a million ancient tea trees, some more than a thousand years old, and most between 10 and 30 feet tall, grow in the under-story of the rain forest.

Jing Mai Mountain was part of the Yunnan section of the ancient Tea Horse Road, the legendary network of China-to-Tibet commercial routes. There were multiple pathways in the “road,” which gets its name from its primary use in the 11th century as a way for China to trade tea for Tibetan horses. At the time, the going rate (set by the Sichuan Tea and Horse Agency) was 130 pounds of tea for one horse.
