$68.00
An aged shou Puer tea with clean south China storage perfect for a daily cup. A lovely soup that looks likes an aged red wine with woody character over a layer of subtle sweetness. A little too easy to drink, if you ask me.
Each cake is 357g.
The true date of this tea is unknown, though mid-2000’s is our best guess. This inner ticket is also unknown to us, but a bit of research shows that this company was disbanded for reasons of fraudulent activity in the mid 2010’s. If you’re looking for a tea with a clear origin, this ain’t it. If you’d like a nice shou Puer to drink that has settled into middle age, it’s an excellent choice.
Gongfu!
Very smooth with dense, dark, and surprisingly coating and sweet notes of potting soil, forest undergrowth and decaying wood, beetroot, oatmilk, molasses, Okinawa black sugar, and malt or golden biscuits. Like a cross between some kind of mysterious and broody feeling forest-y profile and a really nice milk tea!? I sort of feel like some kind of bog witch chilling in the darkest part of a forest swamp just drinking a boba and brewing potions. Where did this witch get the boba? Who knows and frankly who cares. This shou is evocative in a weird and fantastical kind of way, clearly. But that’s not a complaint. It’s actually a very fun energy to invite into the rest of my Sunday.
