Wu Mu Long Raw Pu-erh Tea 2021 is made from leaves harvested from tea trees that are several hundred years old, located in tea gardens at an altitude of over 2000 meters. In early April, Wu Mu Long at high altitude is still a bit chilly. Because the tea grows in lower temperatures, the leaves are smaller, resulting in a higher bud ratio, giving a smooth and creamy texture in the mouth.
When people think of Pu-erh tea, they often imagine a brown tea with flavors like dried mushrooms or dried fruits, but that is a type of Pu-erh called Ripe Pu-erh.
Raw Pu-erh tea is a delicate tea with a fruity flavor, similar to freshly made white wine. It has no bitterness or astringency, making it very popular with children.
Product Details
This tea has aged in oxygen-free storage in Malaysia after production, developing a sweet flavor.
Wu Mu Long Village with Traditional Farming
Wu Mu Long is the name of a village located in Yongde County. The village is formed by ethnic minorities such as the Yi race. Wu Mu Long is a small village where even the best accommodation does not have lighting at night, hot showers, or proper toilets when I first time visited there. Due to its rustic and rural charm, the village is insulated from external noise, making it less susceptible to market price fluctuations. Therefore, traditional natural cultivation tea gardens still exist in the village.
Long Aftertaste and Sweet Flavor from Natural Cultivation
This product is made from tea leaves harvested from trees that are a few hundred years old, located in tea gardens at an altitude of over 2000 meters. In early April, Wu Mu Long at high altitude is still a bit chilly. Because the tea grows in lower temperatures, the leaves are smaller, resulting in a higher bud ratio, giving a smooth and creamy texture in the mouth.
Since it is made from tea leaves grown on old trees using natural cultivation without fertilizers or pesticides, it has a long aftertaste and a pleasant, lingering flavor. The sweet flavor is reminiscent of fresh sugarcane, honey, and dried grapes.
Focus on Sourcing Naturally Cultivated Tea
Since 2010, we have been visiting Yunnan Province every spring. Over the years, we have built connections with many famous tea regions. However, our focus is not on a region's fame, but rather on tea with transparency and a long-lasting aftertaste. To achieve this, we focus on remote mountain villages, selecting tea gardens with ancient tea tree, high altitudes, and no fertilizers, sourcing through unique logistics channels. For more details, please visit the following page.
In Yunnan, teas claiming to be from famous regions are produced in thousands of locations, using leaves from other areas, and can be found everywhere—from airports and convenience stores to supermarkets.
What complicates matters is the surprising phenomenon where imitation teas made from leaves in remote areas are of higher quality than the genuine articles. This is especially common with Pu-erh teas from Lincang, and it is a well-known fact among professionals involved in sourcing locally. For more details, please visit the following page.
In Yunnan Province, there are long-established brands like Dayi and Zhongcha. These brands are renowned because their teas produced before 1990 are highly valued.
So, why are these older teas considered special? Many people assume it's due to long aging, but in reality, the tea leaves used at that time were naturally grown without fertilizers, resulting in their superior quality.
Therefore, even if current teas are aged for a long time, they will not reach the same quality. For more information, please visit the following page.
