Sheng Pu Erh Bulan Shan Lao Shu, AA, 2023

Sheng Pu Erh tea, produced from tea leaves harvested on the slopes of Mount Bulan. Made from locally sourced tea, this tea boasts a bittersweet flavor with a strong sweetness in the aftertaste and a powerful therapeutic effect.

Greenish-silver leaves and beige buds are pressed into a medium-density cake. The aroma is tart and fresh, with notes of lychee, mandarin, lemon, and chamomile. As it warms, the flavor becomes bitter and spicy.

The infusion is yellowish-orange in color with a bitter-spicy, smoky aroma. The flavor is herbaceous and smoky, with notes of flowers and fruits: orange, watermelon, pear, and meadow flowers. A citrusy bitterness forms a smooth background, turning into sweetness in the aftertaste. The fruitiness diminishes as the tea steeps.

The tea leaves a strong and rich state, warming the soul and mind, imparting a pleasant energy boost.
