Price range: $27.60 through $115.00
Savory mushroom and bold bitterness.
Savory Ripe Puerh | Macanese Storage | Menghai Material | Humid-Stored
Shift your ripe puerh gears with the ’09 Macanese Mushroom Brick, a savory standout stored under moderately heavy humidity. Its mushroom foundation imparts a rich umami depth, balanced by baker’s chocolate bitterness that boldly emerges in early infusions.
Sweetness builds from the first to third steeps, forming a layered interplay of savory and bitter that’s ideal for fans of mid-aged ripes. Some light fruit is also starting to emerge. This brick thermoses and stacks just as well, making it a sophisticated selection for contemplative drinking.
Comprised primarily of Menghai-region material, likely Kunming Tea Factory commission, though specifics remain elusive. Originally sourced from a Macau Hualien vendor, it’s been humid-stored in Los Angeles since March 2022.
