Mengsong Gushu 2025

Mengsong Gushu 2025 is a premium raw Pu-erh (Sheng) tea crafted from ancient tea trees (Gushu) growing in the renowned Mengsong region of Yunnan. This tea is a true highlight from Tea Master Panda, known for his dedication to tradition and quality. The leaves are carefully hand-picked from old-growth trees, then meticulously processed and stone-pressed into cakes at the artisanal factory of Yang Ming.

Mengsong teas are celebrated for their vibrant yet balanced character, with a distinctive floral and resinous aroma and a long, complex finish. Thanks to the altitude, soil, and biodiversity of the region, this tea offers a unique expression of the Mengsong terroir – both powerful and elegant.

Each year, authentic Mengsong Gushu is produced only in very limited quantities, making it a prized treasure among Pu-erh collectors and connoisseurs. Its clean, traditional processing style not only ensures immediate enjoyment but also makes this tea particularly suitable for long-term aging. Over time, the tea matures beautifully, developing deeper, richer, and more nuanced flavors that reward patience and care.
