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 Yunnan province, and every kind of ancient Pu-erh has its own unique flavor because of the different growing earth, weather, environment etc. in different mountains.

 

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 Ancient Tea”, the brewed liquor becomes much better from the 3rd 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 Awazon “Manjin Ancient Tea” raw Pu-erh tea cake much more valuable for collection.
