Vendor Notes
This raw Pu-erh from Lao Man E delivers a robust and engaging character. It presents an initial moderate bitterness that quickly subsides, revealing a profound and lasting sweetness. A gentle astringency harmonizes with a distinct mineral essence, creating a weighty mouthfeel. The aroma carries subtle leathery, animal, and herbaceous undertones, leading to a refreshing, menthol-like sensation (Hui Gan) that deepens with each infusion.
