Wenshan Aromatic Bamboo Roasted Pu-erh

Another incredibly unique Pu-erh process that is particular to the Yunnan minority people living in Xishuangbanna, Dehong and Wenshan areas of Yunnan. This Bamboo Pu-erh is special because a species of Bamboo called “xiang zhu” is harvested at a special time once a year when the aromatic bamboo is still relatively young and imbued with an incense like smell. Raw Pu-erh leaves have been forced down in the the open end of the aromatic bamboo section, then bamboo sections are barbecued in a wood fire. As the bamboo dries in the fire the special aroma intermingles with the Pu-erh inside. A tasty and intoxicatingly aromatic Pu-erh! Unforgettable! This is a a different variety of bamboo than is used in the Dehong version
