Tea Knowledge & Friendship
Careful with that cup, these brown ones are known to leach lead...Stephen wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 1:04 pm1999 Menghai Zhang Xiang Ripe Pu Er. A loose leaf tea from Chawangshop. It has developed nicely over the past few years. It has some camphor (zhang xiang) but what I really notice is a grain or bread like flavor. Is there a traditional name or description for that flavor/aroma?
Unfortunately that writing doesn't provide a lot of clues unless "aged"/"matured" and "China, Yunnan" is helpfulBac wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 5:41 pmSome shou pu-er gifted from friends wich went to china some time ago.
Quite smooth, slightly earthy, somewhat sweet and floral. Did not expect it to be soo smooth.
If anything it is not too complex, so i guess its not too aged.
I cannot read the language and would be grateful if anyone knows more about this tea
Actually i noticed there is a translated small piece of paper at the bottom of the bag, oooops....Balthazar wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 1:17 pmUnfortunately that writing doesn't provide a lot of clues unless "aged"/"matured" and "China, Yunnan" is helpfulBac wrote: ↑Mon Nov 16, 2020 5:41 pmSome shou pu-er gifted from friends wich went to china some time ago.

Is there any more writing on the wrapper?
Yes most, if not all of them. This brown and the red ones are particular heavy cases.
