1999 Basket Aged Loose Leaf Ripe Pu-erh Tea from Menghai

Moonlight White, a wonderful respite.

This was my first purchase from YunnanSourcing. I am an avid tea fan, and have bought many cakes, loose and other types of tea. I really enjoyed the complexity of this tea, and it's quality was really good. Especially for a white tea. At no time did I encounter any of the qualities of bad tea. nothing musty/overly bitter/ excessive tannin from wrong mixture. No this was simple, smooth and fantastic. The complexity of flavor changed dynamically as the tea would move from hot, to cold. Brew time worked best at 3. 5 minutes, under 190F in my gongfu. however, your experience may vary. Thank you again!

This is beautiful tea to look at. But the taste is what keeps me coming back. If you love the flavor of a damp fall day in the woods give this a try. It is cleaner tasting than some others I have. I don’t get much fruit but the sweet and earthy flavor is what I enjoy.

Good tea!

This tea has a complex taste as well as an aged taste, which is prominent in dry aged pu-erh teas! Long time of dried storage could give this kind of quality taste. Highly recommend!
