2019 Sheng Pu’erh Description:
This one-year aged pu’erh tea from China’s Yunnan Province is unlike anything else in our collection. Sheng pu’erh is a “raw” tea, meaning it continues to mature and improve with age.

Original Sheng Pu’erh Description:
It’s alive!
This dark, mysterious tea is totally unlike anything else in our collection. Also called Green Pu’erh, Sheng Pu’erh is a « living » tea – it continues to mature and improve like an excellent wine. Taste a cup of this young tea today and it will be rich and earthy, with sweet, vegetal mushroom notes. Try it again in a year or two and it will be sweeter and mellower, with a delicious hint of honey. We recommend buying enough to drink this year, then storing some away for a serious treat a few years down the road. If you can wait that long…
