Product detailed description
Archived shu puer from from Menghai (勐海). The tea was produced and compressed in Summer 2009. The tea leaves come from young, mature and ancient tea trees (huncai 混采), harvested across Menghai tea gardens. The cover has minimalistic red-white-black color with Chinese characters refering to the royal tribute tea (Yupin gongcha 御品贡茶).

Hu comes from Han tribe (汉族) and her family owns a small tea house in Jinghong city (景洪市) since 2016. As a tea collector, she focuses on various teas across whole Yunnan Province, particularly from Xishuangbanna. During our work trip to Xishuangbanna in Autumn 2025, we spend a lot of time by comparing various aged teas from less-known tea villages in both Menghai and Mengla.
