Aged premium shu puer and moderately humid storage, produced in Menghai in 2003 under the Zhong Cha (CNNP) brand.
We found this puer from a tea collector-investor from Guangzhou. He has been buying successful runs of shu and sheng puer for over 10 years, storing and reselling them. Professional storage in a specialized tea warehouse in Guangzhou.
Thanks to proper storage, the so-called Chen Xiang - "Aroma of Aging" - appeared in the tea. Chen Xiang can be defined as special notes in taste and aroma that appear in tea as a result of its (proper and rather long) storage.
Aroma: woody-nutty, with vintage notes of leather and an old basement or attic.
Taste: soft, deep, harmonious and refined. The taste is old, slightly damp wood, chocolate, nuts, spicy, noble earthy notes. Long, slightly menthol aftertaste.
Effect: harmonizing, powerful, but meditative, relaxing.
Production: 2003, Zhong Cha (CNNP), Menghai County, Xishuangbanna District, Yunnan Province, China.
