Our Bringer blend marries several high end small batch shou Puer teas of varied fermentation levels.
Most of the shou Puer in this blend is from material qualities that very few people ever dare to ferment, much less blend. The result is a thick, rich and complex orchestra that evolves from steep to steep, rolling into the session like a cup of melted 90% dark chocolate and gliding through to the later steeps which resemble a well-aged raw Puer tea.
Even freshly pressed, this tea is lovely. The prospect of further aging presses the limits of our patience.
Each cake is 200 grams of tea.
Gongfu!
Dipped into my sample for a nice outdoor session! Once the leaves opened up after the first steep or two, this pu’erh was so incredibly thick with such an oily, coating mouthfeel. It was quite earthy with notes of petrichor and forest undergrowth that reminded me of walking through the woods after a heavy Summer rainfall. However, mostly it was very bitter with notes of super dark cacao and baker’s chocolate. Those who know me well known that I’m not actually a super big fan of chocolate (blasphemy, I know), but I’ve always appreciated the way an unsweet chocolate note like this one can bring an incredibly nuanced and elevated impression of “indulgence” to a tea, and I found myself fixated on this flavour note as I finished the session!
