On a sensory journey deep into the Yiwu Mountains lies the sacred treasure of this pu-erh tea planted in 2003. Created by Yuen Hai Tea Factory, this unique specimen reimagines the iconic Menghai 7542 recipe with small and medium-sized leaves from ancient Yiwu trees. With more than 20 years of aging, first in the humid climate of China and then in the dry conditions of Vancouver, this gem reveals a complex and robust profile.
In the deep chalice of a cup, a dance of flavors unfolds that caress the palate. A gentle bitterness and discreet dryness frame a rich tapestry of aged wood, dried fruit and camphor, with a pronounced sweet huigan that lingers in the throat. The deep amber liquid offers a smooth, velvety texture, with wet bark and floral aromas that transport you to a moonlit forest.
Perfect for moments of contemplation and refined tasting, this tea shines in a medium-high density yixing teapot, at 95–100°C, with short infusions that unfold in depth on flavor journeys. A venerable, captivating and enigmatic rarity, destined for true pu-erh lovers, worthy of being appreciated in all its shades and nuances.
Awaken your senses, explore each sip as if it were the first and let yourself be enveloped by the ancient stories of these leaves, harvested in the heart of Yunnan Province, from the majestic Yiwu Mountains. Be prepared to embark on an unforgettable experience, where time is suspended and tea reveals itself as a true act of devotion to the palate and the soul.
