Home: Yunnan
Leaf: Profoundly dark green. shot with hints of yellow.
Scoop: Sheng pu'er is fermented for only four or five months. and kept a maximum of one or two years before drinking.
Character: Neat little compressed. ball-shaped cakes of cooked puerh give a dark red liquor and an intensely satisfying. multi-layered. earthy aroma and taste that recalls misty autumn woodland and fallen leaves.
Brewing Tips: Opaque yellow. smoky tones on top of a rain-fresh tang. slightly bitter. Brew 1 mini cake in a teapot or cup in boiling water for 1 minute. Strain and add more water for five to six further infusions. brewing for slightly fewer seconds each time more water is added.
