Palace Grade - Lin Cang Gong Ting

Our Gong Ting ripe, "shou" tea is the smallest and highest grade for a Pu-erh leaf.  The raw material was harvested in Mengku county, Lin Cang prefecture in the spring of 2009.  The leaves were fermented for 48 days giving the tea a moderate fermentation level which gives the tea a strong "mouth feel" that will remind one of a raw Pu-erh but only briefly as this taste becomes rounder and deeper.  With storage, this Pu-erh will improve gradually and should be one to enjoy for some time to come.
