Gushu Raw Pu-erh Dragon Balls
In January, we explored the nuances of big arbor tree Raw Pu-erh (Sheng Pu’er) teas from different vintages. Due to the popularity of these selections, we are excited to introduce more raw pu-erh teas this August. These four teas are all harvested from ancient trees (Gu Shu) over a hundred years old in the lush, ecological mountains of southern Yunnan. You will embark on a sensory journey with these teas, which represent a mix of young and aged from all three major pu-erh producing regions: two from Lincang, one from Pu’er, and one from Xishuangbanna. Each tea offers a unique flavor profile representing its distinct terroir. What's special this month is the dragon ball shape of the teas. Hand-rolled with meticulous care, these dragon balls are convenient to brew and preserve the integrity of the tea leaves better than machine-rolled alternatives. This artisanal process ensures the leaves unfurl beautifully over multiple infusions, providing a rich and evolving taste experience.
