2017 Zun Zhong 7531 Ripe Puer - from Trailhead Tea, Sedona, Arizona
An AGED RIPE/SHU PUER 2017 spring harvested from the Menghai area of Yunnan Province, and then pressed and stored in Kunming by the Zun Zhong factory, where we toured in October 2016. Zun Zhong is a medium sized producer. We spent time learning with the company manager. We sampled this tea in their tasting room before acquiring.
The taste of the tea is very smooth for its age, somewhat rich. The aroma is dark earthy and woodsy, with a good mouthfeel.
