Highlights:
- Strong mind-stopping Qi
- Clean old tree leaves
- Thick and sweet semi-aged taste
- “Wild/deep forest” complex aromas
This is a really solid “meditation” Tea, with possibly the strongest Qi for tea in this price bracket.
Taste wise we start with some mild astringency progressively becoming sweeter and thicker, with very good durability. To round up the amazing Qi there’s strong aroma typical of deep forest Puerh, good flavour density and good aftertaste.
Sourced and stored by the same maker of customer-acclaimed 2014 Green Mark MengSa (clean taiwanese natural storage).
Just like the other Puerh.uk Green Mark Tier 4 Series (Meng Sa and Guo Gan), tea of this quality is often sold for 2-3 times this price, enjoy!
Puerh.uk Green Mark Tier 4 Series Introduction
- Genuine old tree puerh from clean natural tea gardens
- What real tea masters make for themselves and their friends
- Exclusive pressings only obtainable with relationships (guanxi)
- Very high quality/price ratio
The best tea is not for sale, it’s available only through relationships. Tiny productions made by real puerh masters for themselves and their friends, originally in white paper or with minimal wrappers.
Tier 4 is about 0.1% of available Puerh, with medium-high % of old and ancient tree leaves and with all taste qualities easily detectable, tea that is very rarely found on the open market.
Years of relationships went into obtaining small amounts of this tea, because it’s generally not commercially available we’re able to offer it at a very moderate price for the very high quality. The only catch: we can usually only get a small quantity.
Big 357g cakes, approx 80g slices.

Tried this tea as a sample. Really impressive tea in terms of taste but also Cha Qi. Full Body with nicely aged clean taste. It somehow reminds me some Wistaria teas in terms of taste.
The QI is also remarkable. Difficult to describe.

This must be some of the best value for money out there. Slightly darker than expected (in a good way!) with a plethora of rich high notes which make for a very complex experience through a long session with an ever exciting narrative arch. But the most noticeable aspect on top must be the remarkable Qi. It opened up some creative channels that kept flowing before falling asleep and way into the morning after. My partner had the exact same experience, independently. I hope to get my hands on a bing once restocked.

Very very good, perfectly aged with a huigan that arrives quickly and stays in the mouth for a long time!

Good value. As Paolo says semi aged persistent ‘firmness’ with excellent depth enlivened with an acidulous thread. Sticky throat. Clear dark amber. Sweetness mid session serves to balance the moderate but comfortable and attractive bitterness of polyphenols. This has substance and further ageability in my view. Worth buying the restock!

Mengku lovers should try this without hesitation. Remarkably clean, amazing structure and texture, good depth, extreme patience, it’s a must-taste.

The P/V here is really good.
Towards the end of the session it struck me, how much complexity in terms of flavour these
leaves were able to maintain: initially, camphor, mushroom, subtly sweet; later, still camphor and mushroom but more obivous honey/ floral/ fruity sweetness. Qi is of good quality, slowly but steadily taking over.
One of the offers i would really consider.

Amazing tea, like the whole Green Mark series;) not a sweet tea, rather on the herbal/bitter side with plenty of Qi
