We have spent much time working to find just the right sheng puerh to blend with our “Earth” Big Tree Shu Puerh. After several iterations we developed this recipe, which we find to be quite successful in its balance of flavour and body sensation.
The sheng puerh’s vibrant energy lifts the tea up with its refreshing and lovely honey aroma, while the shu puerh is warming, grounding, and balancing – offering woody, earthy, and also slightly creamy and fruity tasting notes.
It’s a really interesting and comfortable combination. It’s balanced, smooth, gently uplifting and very soothing. A nice start for the day.
It has been a firm favourite in our daily tea drinking – a tea we like to enjoy first thing in the morning before a meditation session or even to brew in a thermos casually on the go.
We’ve pressed this in 7g discs, easy to break into half – you can throw a whole disc in a bigger pot, or even half a disc in a mug and brew, adding more boiling water as required.
This tea needs one or two brews to bring the flavour out, as it has been compressed tightly. This tea is chemical and pesticide free.

A freebie with my latest order, thank you!
I haven’t been drinking much tea for about a month. Early mornings have been chilly, plus we get more fog at our new housee, so I’ve been making matcha lattes or coffee. And lately, the afternoons have been miserable with temperatures in the mid 90s to mid 100s so I have rarely wanted tea in the afternoon or evening (except for chrysanthemum).
Anyway, like yesterday, the day started to heat up quickly so I didn’t want my usual matcha latte or coffee. I made a grandpa mug with this, half a coin, and refilled throughout the day. It was a refreshing blend of a lightly sweet honey-cotton candy sheng with some mellow earthiness from the shou. More sheng in taste and body without typical sheng astringency, and more shou in aroma. Clear and clean overall.
I probably never would have purchased this on my own accord, and yet it turns out I really enjoy it! With how arid it is this time of year, I don’t want any astringency in my tea. I’m already a dried-out husk of a human. With how hot it is, I’m just not ready for shou. This is a case of tea blending that fits my picky mood lately. Breakfast for Meditators – easy does it! Good seasonal transition tea. Might have to spring for this with my next order if it’s still around.
Come on rainy season!

I am also wishing for cooler, rainier weather. :3
