2007 Lao Man é Brand Menghai Puerh Tea (Ripe Puerh Tea Cake) 357g
 
  • Date of Production
8 December 2007
 
  • Tea Cake Outlook
This tea has the traditional 357g tea cake shape with a comparatively high compressed appearance.  There are some tea buds, with its transformed dark golden color, blending on the surface.  It is a 3 - 4 graded blend with fermented tea leaves materials.  Turning to the back of the tea cake, there are less tea buds but majorly with 3 - 4 grade tea leaves.  There are also a few tea stalks for balancing the formula.

  • Aroma of Dry Tea Leaves
The seafood aroma of ripe tea is outstanding with its thickness. The aroma is aged, sweet and mellow.  Besides, the aged fragrance of ripe tea also generally appears in recent years  and becomes obvious.  The overall dry tea leaves aroma is classic and comfortable.  Elegantly, there is no unpleasant earthy smell.
 
  • Aroma of Rinsing Infusion
The tea broth of rinsing infusion releases the woody taste together with the thick and plentiful sensations.  Also, there is no unpleasant earthy smell, which is an important point to prove that the tea has been aged.  Thus, the tea is showing the fruitful mellowness of aged ripe tea.

  • Color of Tea Broth
The color of tea broth is medium chestnut-red, which means it is medium fermented.  The overall tea broth is clear and bright.

  • The Tea Broth Taste
The tea broth is plentifully rich and thick, with the sweet and moisturising texture.  It is also light and smooth with a silky aftertaste.  Since it is 14 years of age (at 2021), the underlining aged texture has become thick and mellow.  You will find there is an attractive light “gan” aftertaste after sipping of such.

  • The Overall Review by Cloud
With the 14 years of aging today in 2021, the 2007 Lao Man é Brand Menghai Puerh Tea (Ripe Puerh Tea Cake) is very suitable for “buy and brew” at this moment.  There is no need for further aging because the earthy taste has completely gone.  The current taste of this tea is perfectly good for instance consumption.  Thus, the stamp printed on the wrapping paper matches with the quality of this tea, it said, “The Treasure of Banzhang”(班章珍品).  You will find this tea a good deal at this amazing price.
  • Current Taste: 4.5
  • Aging Ability: 4.5
  • Good Deal Rating: 5 (US$59.99 / One tea cake)
(5 is the highest mark)

  • What are the criteria of a great ripe tea?
 
First of all, the basic principle of a ripe tea must be the mellow tea broth.  Since the purpose of drinking ripe tea is to appreciate it when it is still young (e.g. just newly coming out from the factory), we do not want the raw and astringent taste which is still present in the tea broth.
 
In addition to the basic mellowness, the thickness of tea broth is also essential for a great ripe tea.  For example, although some ripe tea’s tea broth is smooth, it is thin and not rich enough so that it does not have round and solid feeling.  Such a ripe tea can only be sold cheaply and it is not a tea appreciation grade.  Therefore, the thick tea broth of ripe tea is definitely an important element, which will add additional scores.
 
Third, the degree of fermentation of ripe tea has already determined its subsequent vividness and aging ability.  If the ripe tea is heavily fermented at the beginning, although the taste will be very mellow at first, it however will sacrifice the room of further aging.  It is because there is absence of small portion of raw tea flavor, which supposedly should have been reminded for future aging.  That small portion of raw tea flavour is intended for future aging into the ripe tea mellowness gradually through time.  On the contrary, if the ripe tea is slightly fermented at the beginning, although the tea broth is quite vivid and fresh, it will not be mellow enough for instant appreciation when it comes out from the factory.  This violates the true meaning of drinking ripe tea when it is still young. 
 
Therefore, if a ripe tea can strike a balance between the mellowness and the vividness, which provides slight huigan and good aftertaste, it is a well-fermented great ripe tea.
 
A great and gorgeous ripe tea must have these elements: mellowness, thickness, vividness, slight huigan, sweetness and good aftertaste. 
In addition to the above conditions, if a ripe tea can also have the long years of aging and aged tea aroma, this aged ripe tea is even more precious!


Brewing Tool:
Use a tea bowl (Gaiwan) or a purple clay teapot.
Amount of Tea leaves: 10g or one third of the brewing utensil's volume.
Before you brew: Rinse it with boiled water once, it will not be drunk and thus will not be counted as the first infusion.

45 seconds (6th infusion),
60 seconds (7th infusion),
90 seconds (8th infusion),
and brew it as many times as you want until the tea broth is not strong enough.

  • Cloud said, “Drinking Puerh is an art for the Poor and the Rich.
 
The expensive Puerh has its appreciation value, but it doesn’t mean that the inexpensive Puerh must have bad quality.  Maybe, its low price is just due to the reality that the market doesn’t know and has no idea about that low price Puerh tea only.
  • Health functions of Puerh tea
In the famous Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica (《本草綱目拾遺》) written by Zhao Xuemin (1765, the Qing dynasty), Puerh tea was described as "the first choice to refresh people's brain from too much drink, effective in promoting digestion and reducing phlegm, clearing away the stomach-heat and producing the body fluid. In particular, it tastes mild and slightly sweet, good for dispelling fats and detoxification, and promoting inner circulation.”
