2023 鹿水堂古い木生プーアル茶ケーキ200g

Delicious sheng puerh. The leaf material is beautiful and the cake compression is not too heavy making it great to get the leafs out of there without breaking them. The tea has a thick texture and drinks away easily. Gives a great relaxing feeling. Price wise it's on the higher level for 200 grams but besides that I would definitely consider ordering it again.

Great tea for a reasonable price. Fruity notes of peach with a hint of joghurt. It could be a bit more adstringent, but It´s worth it´s price

Came to this tea from the Shen Puer Sample kit. Out of all teas in set this one is the most delightful!

Unlike any other raw puerhs of the set this one does not have that ‘ripe fruit’ distinctive note and behaves more like a green tea. Mind you, it does has this plum/fruity note in smell sometimes, especially in the first steeps, but mostly is has a unique green tea bitterness and very rich fragrant bouquet.

I especially love the balance of this tea in smell and taste. As the taste is full and bitter, the fragrance sometime is pure sweet honey or berries. I was actually surprised on how wonderful this aroma is. And I am in love how it slightly changes a bit from time to time. Generally it has a very fresh profile that I liked the most out of all the sample set. It leaves my mind focused and crispy without overwhelming and distracting my senses. I choose it on a working day to actually work.

So if you are looking for a traditional, classic shen puer you might look for some other one. But if you like green teas (and I think most beginners tend to like them more aver heavy stuff) this is the right choice.
