Description:

Our Nordic Aged Elegance is a fine aged raw (sheng) pu'erh from Menghu Iceland Tea Garden in Shuang Jiang County, Yunnan. Iceland tea is a famous and highly sought after Yunnan tea with a rich history recorded back during the Ming dynasty (before 1485). It is grown in a small village that sits isolated 2,000m above sea level along the once bustling and absolutely historical Ancient Tea Road. Picked from wild large ancient trees (over 100 yrs old) and is composed of whole unbroken twisted large leaves. It is said that the leaves of the Menghu tree are dark green and soft with an especially strong fragrance that is very unique. When the tea is initially steeped it has a slightly woodsy aroma, then releases a smokey floral richness. This aged Iceland Pu'erh totally comes alive after the first infusion. It is incredibly smooth with a light camphor incense like note. It has a strong chaqi that is smoked, smooth, fresh and has just a touch of astringency. If stored properly this tea will keep well and continue to age beautifully. For the best tea drinking experience we recommend using a gaiwan and enjoying multiple
infusions.
