Description

Origin: Myanmar
Fermented in: November 2018

small batch of this craft shu pu-erh was made from the material from 100-200-year-old Myanmar purple trees, harvested in 2013. I fermented this tea in Chiangmai, in November 2018.

Tea turned out to be very distinctive in taste – notes of leather, wood, and mixed fruit. It is brewed into a black, dense infusion and has good stamina.

Recommended for collectors who are tired of the standard taste of factory-made ripe pu-erhs.
