Wild raw pu-erh tea from Myanmar, 1500 m. Ancient tea trees, more than 1000 years old.
There is no need to write that it's a rare tea. Some Taiwanese tea houses redeem all this mao cha immediately after production and it does not arrive at the tea market outside Myanmar and Taiwan.
Taste is unique but in classic Ye-Sheng tea style. Dry leaves aroma has unusual notes of grape wine. Tastes like no other wild pu-erhs we know.
There are notes of wine, berry jam, plum, grapes, and cut wildflowers. The finish has a light and beautiful fresh peach.
Cha Qi effect: calm, contemplation, tranquility.
The "Lord of the Forest" is a wonderful tea. Very mild and yet with a subtle great depth. A very peculiar tea in a positive sense with a lot of space to get involved and experience it. I have not had such an experience with other Pu Erh. Likewise the scent of the wet leaves. In sum, hard to describe. Plum keeps coming to mind. A tea with a lot of mildness and yet great depth. Very meditative and mystical. Very relaxing Qi.
Joder joder joder........Joder, que bueno y diferente a cualquier otro pu-erh que haya preparado. I'm sorry I'm not very helpful.
F*ck f*ck f*ck........F*ck, so good and unlike any other pu-erh I've brewed. [note, translation from Spanish by TEASIDE]
After the second cup, there was whistling in my ears and silence in my mind. I had it at the beginning of my puerh path, about 7 years ago, from Dayi's V93 of 2012.
This sheng has a medium mouth-feel and a pronounced sweet after-taste.
A fruity sweetness with no bitterness or astringency whatsoever.
Tastes a lot less green than I expected, and there's smoothness to it.
A pleasant and easy tea to enjoy in a copious amount.
I bought this based on the reviews I had read about it.. it does give a wonderful charge with clear focus.. very special feeling especially knowing it’s from 1000 yr old trees. I feel blessed to have experienced the Lord of The Forest.
