“This is the best Shou Puerh I’ve had in a long time. I’m normally not a huge fan of Shou, but this one really stood out to me. Not only does it last forever, but the flavor is so clean and sweet...” Read full tasting note

Description

The original Sheng Puerh leaf quality used to make 紅运当头 (Hong Yun Dang Tou) is very high; the leaves come from ~200 year old trees in Mengku, Lincang. The fermentation process was done perfectly, and even 6 months after this tea was pressed into a cake it was very drinkable with minimal off-taste. The tea has an amazingly sweet, earthy flavor. We have found this tea to be pleasantly moving, warming up the stomach and limbs quickly; it is quite relaxing and comfortable to drink.

60% is from Fall of 2016; 40% is from Spring of 2017. Using this amount of Fall material allowed us to use high quality Old Tree leaf material while keeping the cost affordable.

6 grams can brew 10-15 rounds
