“An interesting tea that combines the refreshing bitterness of young sheng with heavier fruity sweetness and woody notes. It is by no means something I would drink every day, but there are times...” Read full tasting note

Description

Origin: Thailand
Harvest: Spring 2016
Trees’ age: 300-700 y.o.

“A night magical spring forest promises some unusual moods. The red wolf is chasing spring.”

We put this tea into Sheng Pu-erh section, however, there is some compromise here. The material was processed with deviations from the norms for pu-erh maocha production. The leaves were oxidized more strongly, in oolong style; but heating and final drying on the sun were made according to the classical technology for further pressing and storing.

The tea has been stored in our dry warehouse since spring 2016. It has interestingly changed since then and we decided to release these cakes in a small experimental edition.

Material from ancient trees, 300-700 years old, sweet-leaf variety.

Aroma: sweet dark plum, apples, fruit caramel, wood sap, cinnamon.

Flavor: fruit caramel, sweet red apples, plum, dried apricots, wood sap, and chocolate.

Aftertaste is fruity-woody, with light notes of chocolate.
