Misty Peak Teas 2013 Sheng Yiwu Mtn Autumn Pu’er

Country of Origin: China

Ingredients: puerh tea
Steep time: 30 seconds
Water Temperature: 212 degrees
Preparation Method: porcelain gaiwan
Liquor: orangish gold

Yiwu is probably my favorite mountain for puerh but the good stuff is getting harder to find these days. All of the offerings +Misty Peak Teas are hand made from start to finish by the Bin family. This is a bit unusual in the world of puerh so I was excited to give this tea a go. My sample had been broken off of a cake but the dry leaf was mostly whole and had a nice shine to it. The taste had the sweetness that I’ve come to expect of Yiwu but there was also a robust, brightly astringent quality to it. Part of that may be because this is an autumn harvest. There was some interesting fruity notes that helped break things up a bit. Although it had a lot of strength, it’s not as funky as I was expecting. The flavors stayed true right up until the end and I must admit that I gave out before the tea did. I’m really tempted to indulge in an entire tong of this tea. Maybe once there’s some room in the tea budget…

I was a very big supporter of Misty Peak Teas but have since distanced myself from the company because of their questionable marketing practices. The tea is good, but buy at your own risk.
