Update on Loose Pu-erh

Meng Hai factory: 3 year old and 7 year old cooked, Pu-erh, tea.
勐 海 廠 (厂): 三 年 並且 七年, 熟普洱, 茶
Packaged in high quality tea bag, low vacuum, just enough to maintain form.
This packaging is ideal if you’re on the move or extended stay in hotel etc.
The 3yr old is proving to be a very enjoyable daily drink.
Tea is robust, tolerant of water temp ranges and infusion times. Supporting consistent brews with smooth flavours, no negative features, other than number of infusions (4-5)

After researching (3 hrs of tasting) the available loose Pu-erh with Mrs. Yang,
I picked a 3.5 Kg. Box of Meng Hai, 8 year old raw pu-erh tea. 勐海 廠: 八年, 生 普洱, 茶
Last One !!! (1,800¥ RMB, yuan 元) Marked as Fit for the Palace / Emperor.

We opened the box, inspected the contents, all looked great, I’ll save this until I get home

Bit of a bargain, at 1.8K for 3.5Kg!
