These ripe pu erh balls offers a creamy indulgence and bright minerality. They steep a deliciously sweet infusion, as if you're having liquid sweet milk bread. The aroma is complex with hints of malt, butterscotch, ripe fruits, woody spices, and minerals. After 4-5 steeps you're going to sweat and feel this relaxing body sensation. All in all, a great to enjoy yourself and cultivate a calm state of mind.

Good shupu! Thick, aromatic, sweet aftertaste, good price

Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.

When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.

Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
