Our tea are not machine processed. Instead, they are handcrafted from the initial handpicking of leaves to pan-frying, rolling, sun-drying, and stone-pressing the tea leaves into a tea cake.

Many consumers think of tea bushes when they think of tea plantations. However, the finest pu'er teas come from historic tea trees located high in elevation where no pesticide is needed. Farmers have to climb the tea trees to handpick the leaves.

At Mansa, we ensure you experience our aged tea at its peak by carefully loosening the compressed tea cakes at the time of order. Until then, we store our tea at a temperature- and humidity-controlled environment to ensure optimal aging of our tea products.

The world of single-origin tea is complex. With its range of flavors based on terroir, age of tree, and vintage, the journey is an adventure on its own. Instead of showcasing different flavors using blended ingredients, we aim to share different individual traits of unique single-origin aged teas with you.
