The puer we will talk about today comes from the Menghai region which is located in southern China. To better understand the category of puer teas we need to better explain the area where these teas grow since in most cases it is the area itself that gives the distinctive name to each tea. In our case we are in the southern part of the Yunnan region (famous for the production of puer) in an autonomous prefecture called Xishaungbanna. This tea, given its marked aging acquired in its area of origin, allows us to understand well what it means to drink a puer from Menghai since generally from teas from the same areas one can find quite similar characteristics. Here, in fact, a mineral component emerges well together with very characteristic vegetal flavours of the undergrowth aided by the high humidity present in the production areas of this tea.
