Shu Pu Erh Niao Chen Yue Xiang, Yunnan, A, 2022

Fermented Shu Pu Pu Erh from Yunnan Province, 2022 harvest, category A raw material. The name Niao Chen Yue Xiang can be translated as ‘the older, the more aromatic’, which reflects the character of the tea: it develops gradually, infusion after infusion. The tea is pressed into a traditional tea cake, ensuring even maturation and a stable flavour.

A carefully pressed tea cake in a dark brown colour. Medium-sized leaves, evenly fermented. The infusion has a deep dark ruby colour with a clear density and a delicate sheen.

The tea's profile is soft, rounded and warm. The aroma is calm, clean, with a subtle sweet background. The taste has woody and nutty notes, accents of dark bread and a light caramel sweetness. The aftertaste is mild, with a barely perceptible sweetness of dried fruit.

This tea is neither sharp nor aggressive — it gradually gains depth and gives a stable, comfortable feeling. It creates a sense of inner peace and stability. Suitable for everyday drinking, quiet conversations and unhurried work.
