Pu'er Tea
Sheng (raw) and Shou (ripe) pu’er tea from Yunnan, China from old tree material stored and aged in both Guangdong Province and special storage systems in Colorado.
Incredibly popular and sought after in recent years, pu’er tea is defined both by how it is made and by its place of origin. Pu’er, first and foremost, must come from Yunnan, China, the biological birthplace of tea, where huge ancient tea trees still grow wild and uncultivated. Pu’er tea is also distinct in that it is fermented, either gradually over time (as in the case of sheng or raw pu’er) or suddenly (as in the case of shou or ripe pu’er).
Very fermented pu’er can taste rich and earthy, while less fermented pu’er can have greener foresty, floral or fruity notes. The most highly sought after pu’er teas though are those from the old wild tea trees whose vast root systems truly do bring the energy of an entire forest into one’s tea cup.
Our in-store pu’er is kept in a sealed, humidity controlled environment. Raw and ripe teas are kept separate. Even more of our back stock teas are held for us in Guangzhou.
