From Yunnan Sourcing

This is purely Lao Man’e village ripe pu-erh tea harvested from mature trees in spring 2021 and then wet piled in autumn 2021.

This is the most potent ripe tea we have ever pressed. It’s quite bitter, but is incredibly complex tasting with a long lasting mouthfeel and strong cha qi as well!

Entirely Lao Man’e old plantation material Lao Man’e from village in the Bu Lang mountains. Lao Man’e is a village in the Bu Lang Mountain range, not far from Lao Ban Zhang and also quite near Jie Liang village. Lao Man’e tea is something in between the extreme bitterness of Jie Liang tea and the bitterness with fast and sweet huigan of Lao Ban Zhang tea.

A somewhat unique and really tasty ripe pu-erh. It is nowhere near the Hai Lang Hao Lao Man E ripe, but that’s a tough ask.

Dry leaves have an aroma of soy sauce, caramel, and malt, while when wet I can smell mint chocolates, barn, and coal.

The liquor is full bodied with an oily, slick mouthfeel. First infusion has a very sweet, full taste with flavours of oats, miso, as well as porter ale. It gets more bitter over time, but not too much. Second steep is also more woody and herbaceous with floral notes such as lavender and sage. The aftertaste is quite strong with an additional notes of dried fruits.

There is also quite a strong cha qi and I feel almost disoriented after drinking the tea.
