The raw material for this puerh is the leaves and buds of tea trees up to 500 years old, which, when dry, have a sweetish fruity aroma with a tobacco trail and a light peppery note.
After washing, the aroma is bright, baked-fruity, with notes of marmalade and apricot.
The taste of the brewed tea is soft, playful and strong, with fruity-tobacco and spicy notes. A slight bitterness is added to the 4th infusion, quickly turning into sweetness and a slight astringency.

The infusion is transparent, honey-colored, leaving a spicy-fruity aftertaste that is long-lasting and refreshing.
Sheng Puer "Old Trees Menghai" perfectly tones, pacifies, encourages action, gives a feeling of calm and balance. This Puer has excellent potential for aging and over the years will acquire a special sweetness and softness of the infusion.
