Yiwu Spring Arbor (2015)
Yiwu Spring Arbor (2015)
The Yiwu mountains in Southern China are renowned for the fragrant, smooth and floral pu’er teas they produce. One of the most highly sought after terroirs in the tea world, this blend of old tree material from different villages has aged beautifully in wet Guangzhou storage. This sheng style pu’er tea was made from a blend of old arbor material harvested in the Spring of 2015 from different villages across a somewhat wide area. At 8 years of age, it already shows many of the signs of a well aged tea - it is musty and earthy, balanced by sweeter dry fruit and voluptuous floral notes. Somewhat sharper and more green than its 2011 counterpart, this tea is well on its way to full maturity.
