'Whispering Earth' is Teasenz’s first ripe pu erh tea cake, co-curated by 10 pu erh enthusiasts from our community.
Our 'Whispering Earth' pu erh tea is now also available in convenient, travel-friendly mini cakes. Each piece is perfectly portioned at 7 grams for an uplifting gongfu session. For a lighter, single-person session, the cake can be easily broken in half (3.5g).
Enjoy true grab-and-go convenience: you no longer need a tea knife to pry large cakes, or a tea scoop and scale to measure loose tea. Simply take one and steep.

Steep the tea for 20 seconds for the first steep and 10 seconds for the 2nd to the 4th steep. Afterwards, gradually increase the steeping time.

The aging since 2017 has given this tea a very smooth and mature character. It opens up nicely across multiple infusions, revealing deep earthy notes and a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. The compression of the mini cakes is just right—easy to break apart but holds together well. A great daily drinker.
Exceptionnel !
Un véritable bonheur papillaire !
Je n'ai pas les moyens de me payer des grands crus shu Pu'erh. J'ai une fois acheté à 300 le kilo, des mini tuo cha, très bons. C'était ma meilleure expérience "Shu Pu'erh"
La pour presque la moitié du prix j'ai eu quelque chose de bien plus...
Une puissante caresse douce, liquoreuse. Lorsqu'on commence sa première infusion on n'a qu'une envie c'est que cela dure. Et on peut infuser 10 à 15 fois (voire plus si on ne se limite pas sur la quantité de thé).
Je remercie vraiment très profondément tous les gens, tous les éléments, toute le savoir-faire, toutes les conditions, bref de la graine qui a permis cette récolte en 2017 en passant par l'artiste qui a dessiné ce magnifique dessin.
Des milliards de milliards de merci pour cette révélation.
Cela fait 15ans que je bois des "shu pu'er" et c'est seulement aujourd'hui que je commence à comprendre et enfin mettre un pied dans le monde des "Véritables" Shu Pu'erh.
Merci Teasenz.
It's not my favorite, but it fits the description well—ranging from rich and full-bodied to light—and the flavors keep coming. The mini-cakes are very convenient.
It's quite good, about 3-6 brewings. Strong aroma. It's like you driving a sports car with leather seats
🙏🙏🙏❤️
Was a great gift
Very mild and pleasant tea, only 2 or 3 infusions but a treat for the palate. I can't say much more, being relatively new to the art of tea. Thank you to Teasenz for offering original, high-quality products at an affordable price.
This is a delicious tea. A pleasure to drink. Though it doesn't brew quite as many times as my absolute favorite, it's very easy to see why this was the choice for so many drinkers that they polled for this. A special and lovely tea. I love that it was picked by drinkers in blind taste tests.
