Nannuoshan 2023 Ripe 100g
We are excited to offer this gem of a ripe pu’er cake. It’s got all that we love about a nice ripe tea - smooth, woody, nutty, full on the tongue with a hint of creaminess and quite capable of brewing up nice and strong in longer infusions.
Comprised of spray-free leaves harvested in spring 2022 from old arbor trees on Nannuo Mountain, the leaves were meticulously ripened in summer before being dried. The steaming and pressing of the leaves took place in March of 2023, rack-cured and then wrapped and perfectly stored in Menghai until we bought them in May of 2026. There is not one hint of post-fermentation funk left in this extremely tasty tea. We think you’ll find this one very pleasing in aroma, flavor and feel!
Be sure to check out the raw pu’er version of this same tea here and if’n you enjoy both raw and ripe like we do, pick up the special buy of the two in the drop-down menu in either listing!
