Description
This Shu Pu-erh is harvested in Yunnan Province, China, and made from Assamica tea plants.
During the fermentation of Shu Pu-erh teas, some leaves are compressed into a dense block that retains its shape even when steeped—this is known as Lao Cha Tou.
Rich and sweet, this Shu Pu-erh evokes notes of wood, vanilla bean, and mushrooms. A rare Grand Cru.

Grands Crus: savour the exceptional
Rare and ephemeral, teas identified as Grands Crus by Palais des Thés are the result of alchemy between a tea plant variety, its terroir and the talent of an artisan grower.
