From Eastern Leaves

The 2021 harvest pleasantly surprised us with an intense and persistent fragrance, and a very advanced ripeness, uncommon in a newly harvested tea. The typical complex notes of wood and underforest return gently in the aftertaste, enriched by spicy hints of nutmeg, and floral hues. The persistence of aromas is alive in the cup even after drinking the transparent liquor, and the unmistakable sweet aftertaste of a young pu’er emerges in the palate.

Harvest 2021 was very standard, and it gave us ripe fruits, perfect to be consumed immediately or to be stored for years to come. For this latter purpose, we decided to press our loose leaves by stone in 100 gr. cakes, which can be purchased individually, or in the traditiona bamboo Ti – containing 5 cakes – for the best protection over long decades.

Plantation altitude: 1850 meters
Origin: Southwest Yunnan, Lunan Mountain
Flush: Spring 2021
Storage: the leaves can be stored in their original package or in ceramic vases. Avoid heat, light, and moisture.

A nice enough sheng that’s doesn’t stand out so much. It is quite powerful in its bitter taste and lasting juicy aftertaste.

The dry leaf aroma is sweet and floral, but also nutty. After the rinse, there are notes of fish food, apricots, and compost.

The taste reminds me of bitter melons, pineapple, phyllo pastry, hops, green beans, grains and pumpkin seeds. In contrast to the pungent profile, the liquor has quite a light and soft texture, and it turns the mouth quite slick.
