Description
This old tree young sheng pu’er is unexpectedly smooth with just the right amount of ‘rawness’. The golden yellow liquor is cloudy with nutrition, common in quality younger sheng and the flavor delivers exactly what I like in a sheng pu’er, a touch of barnyard goodness and a delicate astringency that keeps the mouthfeel fresh and clean. Sheng pu’er is known for it’s ability to aid with digestion making this a fantastic tea to enjoy after a heavy meal. This tea can be enjoyed immediately or it could be packed away for a few dozen years if you can wait that long!

Cha Ma Gu Dao, Pu’er culture
Pu’er tea usually comes pressed into different shapes, where the tea leaves slowly oxidize and ferment. The longer the age, the richer the taste. On the tea horse road, bouncing on the backs of the horses and mules, experiencing hot sun, wind, rain and dust, and the smells of the animals and people, these are undoubtedly the final steps of tea processing. During this long and dangerous road trip, Pu’er developed its own unique and deep yun.

Age for the taste
There are 54 aroma compounds in Shu Pu’er. The process of piling, drying, and aging enriches the compounds in tea. This is closely related to temperature and humidity, enzymic catalysis, and microbial activities. The microbes generate heat and metaboliteswhich play an important part in the degradation of catechin, sugar and amino acid, as well as the transformation of tea aroma and taste. After piling, catechin content is greatly reduced and the bitterness and astringency lower. This is the primary reason many people favor Shu Pu’er, its rich aged taste, and easily accepted flavor.
Observe
The dry leaves are reddish-brown or dark chestnut, commonly known as “pig’s ? liver” color.
Taste
The liquor is a rich red, bright, and smooth. Shu Pu’er is rich with the taste of age taste, return sweet (hui gan), and has no moldy or other unpleasant flavors.
