Shu Pu Erh Black pearl, A, 2024

The black-brown brick can be broken by hand, but a knife is preferable. The dried leaves have a subdued, woody-nutty aroma. The infusion is almost opaque, ruby-brown in color. The flavor reveals notes of cherry, fruit bark, and dark chocolate. The tea imparts warmth, energy, and clarity. A good choice for any morning.
