Shu puer "Dark Side of the Moon", Menghai, Tea Mail, press 2025, 200g.
Excellent, simply excellent puer. Having tried it strongly once, we can no longer drink another!) Balance of taste, external beauty, tonic state and delicate full taste.
We spent a long time choosing the raw materials for this tea. We agreed that we prefer shu pu-erhs from Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Region, Yunnan Province. The tea history of this area goes back thousands of years, and the oldest tea trees are over 1,700 years old.
The attractive appearance of the dry leaf with aromas of dried fruits and nuts. There is still a trace of duiwei (stack aroma), but it will soon dissipate, as was the case with the predecessor. Deep infusion with a shade of dark ruby. Soft and smooth taste with velvety sweetness of walnut, prune, a little vanilla. In the background there is woody bitterness. The tea has a noticeable effect, but without overdoing it. Lots of energy, focused mind and vision, desire to act.
It is not capricious in brewing, it will withstand steep boiling water, long infusion, also if you put too much. But it is better to drink it moderately strong (12-13 grams per medium gaiwan, about 150 ml) and slightly cooled water, approximately 93-95 °. It is better to drink in the first half of the day, as a boost of energy is guaranteed.
