Description
This pu erh was harvested in the spring at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters, made from ancient tea plants growing along a mountain whose name translates to "infinity." Its fine sourness and high-quality leaves promise delicious notes to come.
Vegetal, apricot, and mineral: here, the sheng's iconic notes develop with all the intensity of a tea in the prime of its youth. A fantastic classic!
This tea belongs to the dark tea family, meaning it can evolve over time without losing quality and may improve with age. Chinese medicine attributes several benefits to dark teas, including aiding digestion, purifying the body, and dissipating the effects of alcohol. A tea to be enjoyed regularly and without moderation!
For the full aromatic complexity, opt for multiple infusions using gong fu cha, the traditional Chinese method.
This tea is packed in a tong containing 5 cakes (approximately 3.5 oz/100g each). Each cake is sold individually.
