From the high, mist-covered mountains of Kokang, Myanmar, this raw (sheng) Pu-erh captures both the wild energy of ancient tea trees and the subtle grace of its unique terroir. Bordering Yunnan Province, the Kokang region shares the same Camellia sinensis var. assamica cultivar found in famous Chinese Pu-erhs, yet the teas here develop their own personality: delicate, floral, and fruit-kissed, with a soft vibrancy that lingers on the palate. Pressed in Spring 2017 from old-tree leaves, this tea has rested into a beautifully balanced cup: a deep orange liquor with aromas of wildflowers, honeyed fruit, and fresh mountain air. Each sip reveals layers of floral sweetness and gentle bitterness, refined, never overpowering, offering both immediate enjoyment and the potential for further aging and transformation. A tea for those who appreciate the living, evolving art of Pu-erh. Form: 357g compressed cake Tasting Notes Aroma: Orchid, honeyed fruit, sun-warmed stone Taste: Floral, bright, and gently mineral with soft, lingering energy Liquor: Deep orange-gold Finish: Clean, vibrant, and evolving with each steep
