2011 MGH 1104 Ripe Pu-erh Tea Brick

The great tradition continues with ready to drink ripen tea leaves that are 5 years old.

We decided to use old vintage ripen tea leaves fermented in 2006 for our MGH 1104 brick. Now you would enjoy a smooth drink without ‘Duiwei’ (People describe it as pond, fishy, a strange smell of new ripe Pu-erh that many not used to).

4 Tasting Notes

A very nice tea. Nice aroma flavor of almost a ‘chocolate’ note to it like a bittersweet piece of it infused into the tea. This tea has a “richness” that makes it very enjoyable to drink at the moment. Hints of vanilla in this one. Brewed in my recent acquisition of an “easy” gaiwan( still I brewed 3 gaiwans for my large cup). Very pleasant. A very nice brick from the Puerhshop.

Before brewing I split the mini brick in half down the middle to decrease the thickness to avoid having problems of it not wanting to open up enough to brew properly. Overall a decent ripe puerh that holds true to the vendor claims but without a doubt the 2011 MGH 1108 brick is a bit better so unless you really want the mini brick style I would say go with that one instead.
