Tea Profile
 
This ecological old tree (生态老树) tea brick originates from Menghai, a highly respected region in Yunnan for premium Pu’er tea. Made using leaves from ancient trees, this tea embodies the richness and depth that comes from well-preserved, natural environments.
 
What is Qi Fen?
 
“七分茶” (Qī fēn chá) in the context of Pu'er often refers to a blend:
70% leaf (more robust, larger leaves)
30% bud (sweeter, more aromatic)
 
This ratio is used to strike a balance between flavor strength and smoothness, making the tea:
Easier to brew
Affordable
Well-rounded (not overly bitter or too weak)
 
Flavor & Aroma
 
• Deep, rich flavor with a balance of earthy, woody, and slightly floral notes
• Smooth and mellow texture, enhancing with age
• Subtle notes of dried fruit, honey, and camphor
• Lingering sweetness (回甘, huí gān) that develops over multiple infusions
 
Storage & Aging
 
This tea brick is designed to mature over time, allowing the natural aging process to enhance its complexity. Proper storage in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space will ensure its flavors continue to develop beautifully.
