Zendo 2020 Ripe Mini Tuocha

Zendo, a fitting name for a most centering and pure ripe pu’er. It is a tea that will keep you wanting to practice tea time, with yourself and with special friends.

Our exclusive blend of leaves come to us from Yongde county in the Yunnan province. This leaf was grown on Mang Fei mountain where our Mountains of the Moon ripe was picked and processed. Our leaves were picked from 80 year old trees in the spring of 2019 and wet piled shortly after that. The ripened leaves were stored there in Lincang until just before we had them pressed into these incredible mini-tuochas and you’ll notice little, if any, post-fermentation flavor. June 2020 pressed and cured.

Grown in pristine conditions without sprays of any kind, this tea is as clean as it gets. And the flavor? Stunning. Fruit and chocolate notes, sweet and earthy. Well-rounded with a complexity that will only deepen as these age.

For fun, get some of the loose-leaf Zendo so you can see the differences that the steaming and pressing makes! Keep some of these mini’s in your purse or backpack so you’re able to make tea anywhere you might find yourself.
