Pu-Erh Tea Cake, 7692, Menghai Tea Factory, 1990's (Ripe/Shou)

This delicious ripe/shou pu-erh from the 90s, produced by the famous Menghai Tea Factory, has been aged in natural storage in Hong Kong and dry storage in Vancouver.

This 7692 recipe features very large leaves, which is an indication that it can be brewed many times and still be flavourful. The fermented tea cake has developed with age and has loosened for the leaves to break out from the cake easily with the prying of a tea knife.

The tea has a rich, deep brown colour, and thick and full-bodied tea liquor. Luscious woody and rich plummy flavours consumes the palate even from the first brew, with a note camphor as the soothing liquid continues down the throat. A sweet and cooling aftertaste lingers, which is always a enjoyable bonus to find in Menghai teas.
