About this tea

Experience the "Liquid Gold" of Lincang with this expertly blended, dry-stored Sheng Puerh, offering an unparalleled aging journey and explosive, wild flavor.

The Mengku Rongshi Mu Shu Cha/Mother Tree Sheng Puerh stands as the definitive benchmark for Raw Puerh Tea, offering an unparalleled blend of wild ancient arbor flavors, intense body sensation, and pristine dry-stored aging potential.

  1. Pure Mengku large-leaf terroir delivers the authentic, wild taste and rich lineage of Bingdao's ancient tea gardens directly to your cup.
  2. Masterful blending guarantees year-over-year consistency, balancing aroma, mouthfeel, and thickness flawlessly for a perfectly structured flavor profile.
  3. Intense physical sensation and rapid, enduring sweetness deliver a highly recognizable, deeply satisfying experience that seasoned drinkers crave.
  4. Pristine Northern dry storage completely prevents mustiness, ensuring a remarkably clean flavor profile and the most ideal long-term aging conditions.
  5. Recognized as the undisputed "Maotai of Puerh," it serves as a highly liquid, prestigious asset for serious tea collectors and investors.

For true collectors of Raw Puerh Tea, the Mengku Rongshi Mother Tree Sheng Puerh is a legendary masterpiece. Historical records dictate that in the year 1485, indigenous tea seeds were first planted in Bingdao soil, giving birth to what the world now reveres as the Mengku large-leaf varietal.

In 1984, long before the modern tea world recognized the immense value of this terroir, Rong Jiasheng, the visionary former chairman of Mengku Rongshi, ventured deep into these treacherous mountains. By 2005, Mengku Rongshi officially launched the "Mother Tree" series.

Creating this masterpiece requires far more than just picking leaves. Mengku Rongshi employs a closely guarded 拼配 (Pīn Pèi) technique, artfully combining premium Bingdao material with select old-tree spring leaves from surrounding famous peaks. Following a precise 杀青 (Shā Qīng) process, this golden ratio ensures that the harshness of individual mountains is smoothed out, leaving only a magnificent harmony of soaring aromas and profound thickness.

To honor this incredible craftsmanship, we have carefully curated vintages spanning from 2007 to 2024. More importantly, every single cake has been strictly resting in our Xi'an dry storage facilities. Protected from the intense humidity of the south, these teas transform with absolute purity. There is no mold, no dampness, and no interference—only the slow, beautiful crystallization of time. Whether you are tasting the vibrant, herbaceous energy of a young cake or the deep, woody resonance of a decade-old vintage, you are drinking a piece of living tea history.

  • Authenticity Guaranteed: Sourced directly from the award-winning Mengku Rongshi factory lineage.
  • Immaculate Storage: Exclusively dry-stored in Xi'an, ensuring a pristine, mold-free aging environment.
  • Curated Vintages: Available in convenient 30g samples or full 500g collector cakes across multiple years.

Do not miss the opportunity to own the benchmark of Lincang terroir. Select your preferred vintage today and experience the explosive flavor and legendary aging potential of the Mother Tree Sheng Puerh!

← Back to the Mengku Rongshi Collection
A family-rooted Lincang pu-erh brand, dry-stored in Xi'an since 2000.

He bravely established the first primary processing facility directly in Bingdao village, navigating treacherous mountain roads to secure the finest raw materials.

Collecting a pristine cake from this series is often compared to acquiring blue-chip stocks in the competitive tea market.

However, this bitterness is remarkably fleeting, rapidly transforming into an explosive and enduring sweetness known as 回甘 (Huí Gān).

We exclusively utilize our specialized dry storage facilities in Xi'an, located in Northern China, which provides the ultimate climate for pristine aging.

Even our oldest available vintages from 2007 impeccably retain a brilliant, clean character that is highly sought after by discerning collectors.

Tasting notes

Appearance & Aroma

  • Dry Leaf: The 500g cake is firmly pressed with thick, robust cords and a generous distribution of fuzzy, silver buds.
  • Dry Aroma: Exudes a striking, high-pitched floral scent intertwined with deep wild honey and sun-baked earth.

Wet Leaf

  • Appearance: Plump, thick, and highly elastic leaves demonstrating exceptional structural integrity and careful processing.
  • Aroma: A vibrant burst of wild orchid, sweet nectar, and a clean, refreshing mountainous herbaceousness.

Liquor Color

  • Color: Ranges from a luminous, bright golden-yellow in younger vintages to a deep, brilliant amber in older, matured vintages.

Mouthfeel

  • Texture: Intensely oily, thick, and velvety, coating the entire palate with a substantial, weighty density.
  • Dynamics: A signature initial bitterness that melts away almost instantly, triggering a torrential, mouth-watering 生津 (Shēng Jīn) and a deeply entrenched, throat-soothing 回甘 (Huí Gān).

Core Flavor Notes

  • Young Vintages: Wild wildflower honey, fresh apricot, crisp pine, and a vibrant mineral tension.
  • Aged Vintages (Dry Stored): Antique wood, dried plum, subtle camphor, caramelized stone fruit, and an elegant, clean leather note devoid of any dampness.

Empty Cup & Finish

  • Finish: Exceptionally long-lasting, leaving a cooling, sweet resonance in the back of the throat for hours.
  • Cup Scent: The empty cup retains a sticky, concentrated aroma of caramelized sugar and deep floral nectar.

Body Sensation / Chaqi

  • Sensation: Aggressive, wild, and deeply warming. It quickly moves down the chest, inducing a gentle sweat and a highly alert, invigorated state of mind.
  • Intensity: 5/5

Brewing guide

Gongfu Style (Recommended)

  • Tea Amount: 5-7g per 100ml of water (adjust to taste; start with 5g for newer drinkers)
  • Water Temperature: 95-100°C (203-212°F); fully boiling water is ideal for ripe pu-erh
  • Teaware: Gaiwan or unglazed clay teapot (Yixing or Jianshui clay); pre-heat vessel before brewing
  • Rinse: Perform 1-2 quick rinses (5-10 seconds each), discarding the liquid; this "awakens" the tea and removes any surface dust from aging
  • First 3 Infusions: 10-15 seconds
  • Infusions 4-8: 15-25 seconds
  • Later Infusions: Gradually extend to 30-60 seconds; high-quality Muye Chun easily yields 12-20 infusions
  • Tips: For fuller body, use slightly more leaf and shorter steeps; for lighter, more aromatic cups, use less leaf with longer steeps

Grandpa Style (Simple Mug Brewing)

  • Tea Amount: 2-3g in a 300-400ml mug
  • Water Temperature: Boiling
  • Method: Add tea, pour water, drink when cooled to comfortable temperature; refill with hot water as you drink; no straining required
  • Notes: Muye Chun's zero-bitterness profile makes it exceptionally forgiving for casual brewing

Western Style (Teapot Brewing)

  • Tea Amount: 4-5g per 500ml teapot
  • Water Temperature: 95-100°C (203-212°F)
  • Steep Time: 3-5 minutes for first infusion; extend subsequent infusions
  • Infusions: Expect 3-5 good infusions in Western style
