From 2006′ autumn harvest comes this ripe pu-erh, a wonderfully smooth tea with one dominant flavour: almonds.
Menghai Aged Raw Pu-Erh from Bana Tea Company
When I first started drinking wine, one of the things that I most enjoyed was the feeling afterwards, once the wine had coursed through the throat and into the stomach. That warmth. It was amazing to me to feel how the body responded to the drink.
I had a similar experience this morning with tea. The tea is an aged pu-erh tea from Bana Tea Company, a Menghai factory raw (sheng) pu-erh that has been aging since 1996.
Thank you to Tea Finely Brewed sponsors
I’d like to take a quick moment to thank the three companies who are sponsoring Tea Finely Brewed in January, and to highlight some of the special deals they have going.
Denong Wild Ripe Pu-erh Tea from Bana Tea Company
Today’s tea: Denong Wild, Bana Tea Company’s newest offering. This is a 2009 pu-erh tea made from 100% rare wild ancient arbor trees.
With pu-erh, parameters are important. Here’s what I used: Six grams for the gaiwan. A twenty second infusion, the first time around. Add ten seconds for each of the next three infusions. Two minutes for the fifth infusion, and then add a minute for every infusion after that.
Brewing tea like this lets you experience how the tea opens up, as each infusion coaxes a little more out of the leaves.

Treasures from Five Mountains: Vintage 2008 Raw Pu-Erh Tea from Bana Tea Company
I’ve been writing about tea for almost a year, and drinking it for much longer than that, but sometimes I still feel like a kid in a candy shop full of sweets he’s never tried. There is an almost never-ending variation in the world of tea. How one tree can yield such an immense array of flavours never ceases to amaze me.
