This is a "ripe Pu-erh" from a 2005 mixed harvest from Xishuanbanna Prefecture in Yunnan Province. Another great tea produced by Denong Tea Factory, this tea is broken from compressed tea cakes and brews a concoction that is thick, brothy and savory. It finishes with a cooling sensation in your mouth that is similar to that left after having drunk Ginseng soup. The chest warming sensation is pleasant and relaxing. An excellent quality ripe Pu-erh for a great price! ABOUT PU-ERH TEA: Pu-erh is one of the very few teas whose taste, like that of quality wine, improves with age. In fact, many tea connoisseurs purchase quality Pu-erh teas and store it for many years before actual consumption. Pu-erh tea comes in two basic types: 1) the raw variety; and 2) the ripe variety. Raw Pu-erh tea is allowed to age and ferment naturally in optimum environmental conditions, sometimes for 15-25 years before the tea is drunk. Ripe Pu-erh, on the other hand, undergoes an accelerated "fermentation process" whereby the tea attains some of the same flavorful and mild taste attributes in a matter of months.
