Description

2014 Man Zhuan Spring Raw 200g
Our 2014 Manzhuan 蛮砖 is harvested from 200 year old tea trees growing organically in the forest at 980-1,050m above sea level. The aroma is exceptionally floral, sweet and creamy. You can clearly smell caramel left behind in the emptied cup. The flavor is green, tinged with a slight edge of bitterness.These top quality leaves produce a thick mouthfeel, slow huigan, and mild chaqi. Buy together with our 2012 Spring Manzhuan for a vertical tasting.
