How this ripe pu erh tea is made
-
Picking
Tea leaves are hand-picked in the morning.
-
Withering
The leaves are spread on bamboo trays to wither.
-
Fixation
The withered leaves are heated to halt oxidation.
-
Rolling
Tea leaves are rolled to release their aroma.
-
Sun drying
Rolled leaves are spread on bamboo mats to sun-dry.
-
Fermentation
The leaves are post-fermented in a controlled environment.
-
Pressing
The post fermented tea is steamed & compressed.
-
Packaging
The compressed tea is wrapped in paper & packed in boxes.
Brewing: 5g/100ml, 100°C, flash rinse, 15s x 3, +5s.
Warmed-up dry leaves smell like fancy leather and old wood. When wet, the wood smell intensifies and is joined by forest floor, spices and a bit of stone fruit.
The liquor is very well balanced, with wooden and earthy notes cheered up by a delicate cherry fruitiness.
I usually associate shou pu-erh with rainy days, but this one is bright and chirpy. You can still feel the rainy forest base, but the fruitiness takes it into a more sophisticated direction - and without any ageing, which makes it even more impressive. A must try for all shou lovers.
