2005 Grateful Tea Factory Nannuo Zheng Shan

Grateful Tea Factory (感恩茶廠) is known for its pressings from the mid-2000s. This particular cake is a 2005 pressing made with material from Nannuo Shan, Menghai County, Yunnan. 

This is a semi-aged puer that offers a very satisfying and layered drinking experience, evolving nicely over the course of a session. The Taiwan natural dry storage has been clean, with no unpleasant storage notes. Both the aroma and flavor show good depth, with a satisfying texture and noticeable viscosity in the mouth. Astringency is minimal. There is a noticeable returning sweetness, and the aftertaste is long, coating the mouth and throat. The tea also possesses a pleasant chaqi.

For those looking for a solid semi-aged sheng puer, this tea is a good option.
