They have one of the largest tea factories in Bangwai area and produce over ten tons a year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDue to a cancelled order in 2022, they got a lot of tea on their hands. They took it to Menghai for fermentation. While we often praise small-batch productions, fermentation works better at scale. There was a time when small-batch fermentation was fashionable in Menghai, but it turned out the results are unstable. All fermentation masters will tell you that the more material available, the better the result. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very affordable ripe Pu-erh that ticks all the boxes at this price range. The naturally soft material of Bangwai area is a good candidate for a smooth and warming fermented tea. It has a decent aromatic complexity, still a bit of Dui Wei (the taste of the fermentation). It will keep smoothing over the months and years. An excellent choice for casual sipping or hungover gongfu sessions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmerleaf","offers":[{"title":"357g cake","offer_id":46377277194427,"sku":null,"price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g sample","offer_id":46377277227195,"sku":null,"price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/DSCF5018.jpg?v=1732798565","url":"https:\/\/farmerleaf.live\/products\/2023-bangwai-ripe","provider":"Farmerleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
