A gold-medal award winner in the 2019 Global Tea Championship competition, this delicious 20 year-old shu ripe Pu-erh tea hails from Menghai by the prestigious producer Bliss Pu-erh Tea Company. This tea has the charm of the original Menghai flavor that Pu-erh tea connoisseurs love, and delivers the classic Menghai ripe Pu-erh buzz. It has very little earthy taste, is very smooth, full-bodied, pleasant mouthfeel and texture, with a hint of roasted plum and black cherry. You smell the sweetness in the aroma, and the sweetness of each brewing from beginning to the very end, plus the clear liquor at the first brewing, an indication of high quality shu Pu-erh tea. Note how sweet this tea is, naturally sweet even after 20 steeps. When there are so many aged shu Pu-erh teas on the market neither fake or non-naturally processed and taste muddy and unpleasant, this tea is absolutely one of the best.
