Flutter 2026 ripe 100g
In honor of butterflies everywhere, we present “Flutter,” a scrumptious and warming ripe tea from one of our favorite tea producers in Meng Song.
Upon tasting the 2025 ripened leaf, we knew we had a winner. Thick body, rich flavor, a hint of dark chocolate, slightly fruity with what Sara called out as a black licorice tail end. We love this tea and reserved more of this ripe leaf than for any other pressing. The energy (cha qi) is clean and engaging, the aroma of cacao, brown sugar, earth and dried stone fruit. It’s truly a beautiful example of what a fine young ripe tea can be and we look forward to what time will bring to this one. Ya really gotta try it.
Pure, spray-free, high altitude ripe tea, sure to please.
