2008 Spring Bud Silver Tip Pu-erh Tea Brick (勐海青砖)

This green Pu-erh tea brick is made by using Menghai materials, and the tea has a delightful taste – good floral scent, remarkable aroma. The tea definitely has its character and personality to be enjoyed now, and it would be excellent when aged.

This tea was a true surprise when I first got it. The tightly compressed brick wasn’t all that pretty and, of course, its young. But it brews up a mellow sweet amber cup with a hint of bitterness that keeps to the background. It also changes considerably through multiple steeps as the teas opens.

Cooked and vintage pu-erh gets a lot of attention, but there are young greens that can be enjoyed for what they are.

Gongfu style, 9g with 2 rinses at 15s, 5 steeps at 1m, 40s, 50s, 1m …

After trying a variety of young green puerh, I thought I might not like this first one I tried as much as I once did. I’ve found that I still enjoy it’s lemony, vegetal and somewhat astringent taste.
