Element 2019 Menghai Ripe Puer

The artificially fermented sibling of a raw puer, ripe/shou puer produces a smooth soup that is warming and especially comforting to drink in the colder months.

This tea has all the hallmarks of a quality ripe puer. Made from Menghai material, this tea has a smooth texture, date-like sweetness and a pleasantly woody overtone. This tea is also quite clean tasting, as it’s had plenty of time to rest off the pile, making it free of any off-taste that can sometimes be associated with freshly processed shou puer.
