There is plenty of it on the market, but most of it is made of really bad material or has been poorly aged. Fortunately, good tea eventually makes it into your cup. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe sourced this tea from a friend in the Pu'er tea market. She has a storage house in Mengla, in the South of Xishuangbanna. The tea was stored slightly wet, but I would still call it dry storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tea clearly shows its Naka origin. It probably had a rich flowery fragrance when young, and the ten years of aging have made it highly fruity. Naka has a good natural minerality, the feel of sucking on a rock. The aging process has reinforced this aspect, but the tea much more mellow than a young equivalent would be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a great comfort tea, on the softer side of the Menghai spectrum: low bitterness, medium astringency, quite active on the gums. The main point is it keeps delivering a thick soup for over ten brews and can even go further with minute-long steepings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe could only get twenty cakes of this one, it won't be restocked.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmerleaf","offers":[{"title":"357g cake","offer_id":44778989060283,"sku":"13年 那卡 357克","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g sample","offer_id":44778989093051,"sku":"13年 那卡 20克","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/DSCF49132.jpg?v=1695704728","url":"https:\/\/farmerleaf.live\/products\/spring-2013-naka","provider":"Farmerleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
