{"title":"Pu-erh Tea","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePu-erh tea is made from Yunnan large-leaf varietal of Camellia Sinensis. It is typically processed into compressed cakes, bricks and tuos. Pu-erh is particularly special because it can be aged for decades or longer, always changing and (in most cases) developing more depth and texture. Raw Pu-erh (生茶) is the traditional form of Pu-erh, and is sun-dried and compressed. Ripe Pu-erh (熟茶) is fermented during a 40-50 day period under-going a mellowing process that changes the tea into something dark red-brown in color.\u003c\/span\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"2016-menghai-golden-fruit-ripe-pu-erh-tea-cake","title":"2016 Menghai \"Golden Fruit\" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake","description":"\u003cp\u003eEntirely

We have selected Autumn harvest wild arbor material from the area of \"Man Zhuan\" (蛮砖), a higher mountain areas in the Yi Wu mountain. Man Zhuan area teas are known for their special thick aroma and a taste that with age becomes stronger and more textured. This tea comes from wild arbor trees between 200 and 300 years old growing on a sunny south facing slope. When brewing the tea you will notice the tea soup is a bright yellow-gold and clear, the aroma is penetrating and the tea is full in the mouth. The flavor is textured and thick with a strong almost chocolate-like after-taste. This is one of the more smooth and aromatic of the Yi Wu area teas. The brewed leaves are thick and stout with a dark olive-green color, attesting to their wild arbor origin.
