2010 Spring Arbour Raw Puerh Cake (bing) was pressed in 2010 using maocha picked in the spring from 2006 to 2009. The leaves used for this cake were picked from arbour trees* on Yiwu Mountain in Yunnan province, China.
The infusion is golden yellow and the tea is sweet and refreshing.
*Based on 5g per serving, infused 7 times.
* Arbour Trees - what are they?
There is much discussion about what 'Arbour Tree' puerh really is.
Puerh can be made from:
1. cultivated tea bushes which grow in tended gardens
2. wild trees which were naturally seeded and grow untended, 'in the jungle' essentially
3. trees which were planted and tended then left to go-wild
Arbour puerh is made from the 2nd or 3rd type or a combination of the two. In our, first hand experience and opinion, the 2nd and 3rd types can produce outstanding teas but there is not much difference between tea trees which are wild and have gone-wild. The key point is how the finished tea tastes. Cultivated gardens can also produce wonderful tea.
