Nahan 2014 Spring

Package
Our first cake of the 2014 Spring harvest. We have "booked" this ancient tea grove to ensure we get the best early spring leaves each year. Nahan is located just above the famous village of Xigui in Bangdong county, Lincang prefecture. Xigui is now the most highly priced puer in history, commanding a massive premium over Lao Ban Zhang and Bingdao. It is 100% gushu, full bodied, punchy and long lasting. Fantastic tea. We recommend tasting together with our 2013 Spring Nahan which is from the same exact tea trees, or our 2012 Spring Bangdong which is a blend of 4 tea gardens in the immediate vicinity of Xi Gui.

Steeping Instructions: We recommend 7g of tea leaves in a 100ml brewing vessel. Add boiling hot water. This tea can re-infused at least 10 times.
Our 2014 wrapper features a design motif celebrating the year of the horse. The maroon on pink palette is an homage to 19th century ceramics artist William de Morgan and part of a series of artwork we commissioned from our friend Yue Chen. Check out the William de Morgan inspired artwork for our 2013 Peacock 100-year old Yiwu small tree puerh cake and 2013 Year of the Snake Yiwu gushu puerh cake. Teapot & tea bowl by Petr Novak
