Soft and subtle, this sheng (raw) puerh is harvested from 150-450 year old trees. Earthy, mineral-inflected notes of peat and wild mushroom give way to a profile of bitter spring chicory and spice, and finish with a gentle, cooling sensation of floral and incense. Pleasant, mellow energetics. Gao Shan is one of the six famous Puerh mountains East of the Langcang river.
Origin: Gao Shan Zhai, Yi Wu, Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province - Early Spring Harvest
Brewing Instructions:
