Lao Shan
£2.20 – £50.00
The name Lao Shan”老善” can be translated as “Old Good Pu’er.” This name is not given without reason. The tea is made from raw material collected in the Menghai County in 2014. Thanks to the location and processing method, the tea possesses the classic “Menghai flavor.” It has that old good Pu’er with a wet earthiness, hints of dust, woodiness, and sweetness in the aftertaste. All the elements that an old Pu’er enthusiast nostalgic for the old times would appreciate.
Of course, we can’t resist playing with meanings here. The name “老善” sounds the same as “老山,” which means “Old Mountain.” This is what teas “from that very mountain” are called, emphasizing that this is precisely what you are seeking. And, of course, we couldn’t overlook the character 善, which means “Goodness” or “Virtue.” It is one of the cornerstone elements of Chinese and human culture as a whole.
