Shu Pu-erh
Description
A rich and earthy Shu Pu-erh from the legendary Lao Ban gardens of Yunnan. Aged through traditional wet-pile fermentation, this tea offers deep notes of dark earth, dried fruits, and a smooth, lingering sweetness. Perfect for cold evenings and meditation.
Why This Tea Is Special
Lao Ban Shu Pu-erh expresses the character of Menghai County: careful processing, clear terroir, and a profile that unfolds infusion after infusion. This is a tea meant for an attentive session rather than a quick cup.
