Ancient Pu-erh
tea tree, natural growing environment, organic tea leaves, picked in early
spring season before rain, sundried Maocha, pressed with stone mode…the core
value of traditional Pu-erh is consisted of all these factors. There are many
famous ancient Pu-erh tea mountains located in
Awazon “Manjin
Ancient Tea” raw cake is made of pure ancient tea tree leaves from Mangjing
ancient tea mountain. Only top grade early spring tea leaves and buds from over
thousand year old ancient tea tree are used as raw material for making this raw
Pu-erh tea cake. This is the best choice for Pu-erh connoisseurs and collectors.
Please note that
only ancient Pu-erh tea can last over 15 infusions, which is a very important
factor to judge if it’s real ancient Pu-erh or not. For this Awazon “Manjin

infusion on. You will feel a very good sweet aftertaste in deep throat and full
mouth with lingering orchid aroma. This is a unique flavor of ancient Pu-erh tea
from Jingmai and Mangjing ancient tea tree. What surprising is this flavor will
be getting stronger and better after years of aging. And this feature makes our
