Since our October 2022 tea club, we are once again introducing the rich and smooth world of Ripe Pu-erh (Shou Pu’er) tea. This theme explores the diverse facets of this beloved post-fermented tea from Yunnan, featuring four distinctive varieties that highlight its versatility.
First, we present our 2017 Gong Ting Ripe Pu-erh, the highest-grade pu-erh made from tender young leaves. Known for its creamy texture and hints of chocolate, this tea promises a refined, luxurious experience. Adding a citrus twist, we introduce the 2017 Xiao Qing Gan, where 2010 Gong Ting ripe pu-erh is packed inside a young tangerine peel from Xinhui. This combination infuses the tea with a bright aroma, balancing the depth of pu-erh with a fruity fragrance.
Next, we have the 2016 Lao Cha Tou, also known as "Old Tea Nuggets," made from leaves harvested in the spring from Jingmai Mountain’s Gushu trees. These dense clusters of fermented tea leaves offer a long-lasting tea session, with mellow, sweet, and smooth flavors that unfold over numerous infusions. Lastly, enjoy the convenience of our 2017 Bulang Rhyme Dragonball, made from spring leaves of Bulang Mountain's big arbor trees. This small-batch, hand-rolled tea ball provides an easy and portable way to brew a delightful cup of pu-erh.
Upcoming theme: Southern Fujian Oolong. Registration will open on 12AM PDT, November 16th, 2024.
