Mengsong Gushu Reserve 2026

Mengsong Gushu Reserve 2026 is a premium raw Pu-erh tea crafted from carefully selected ancient tea tree (Gushu) material from the renowned Mengsong region of Yunnan. Compared to our previous Mengsong productions, this year’s harvest is made from an even higher grade selection, showing more depth, structure and lasting presence in the cup.

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.
