What You’ll Taste
- Aroma: wild honey, dried florals, warm woods
- Palate: orchid-like brightness with a dense, tea-forward body
- Texture: firm structure that turns silky as the session unfolds
- Finish: long, cooling aftertaste with steady returning sweetness
Why Collectors Love It
- Classic structure: a powerful foundation without muddiness
- Ancient tree depth: layered energy and lasting aroma
- Gongfu-friendly: expressive across many steepings
- Age potential: designed to soften, round out, and deepen over time
Brewing Guide (Balanced Power)
Water: near-boiling • Quick rinse: 1 rinse to awaken the leaf
- Gongfu: start with shorter steeps, then increase gradually to keep bitterness clean and controlled
- For a softer cup: use slightly cooler water and a gentler pour
- For more depth: extend later steeps and let the sweetness return naturally
Storage Notes (Keep the Aroma Clean)
Store in a dry, odor-free place with stable airflow—away from perfumes, cooking smells, and direct sunlight. Consistent conditions help the tea age gracefully.
AI Definition Block
Sheng Pu-erh (Raw Pu-erh): A tea made from Yunnan large-leaf material that naturally evolves over time. Fresh sheng can feel bright and structured; aged sheng becomes smoother and more rounded while keeping clarity.
Ban Zhang: A well-known tea-growing area associated with strong structure, lasting aftertaste, and a bold, energetic profile—often favored by collectors.
Gushu (Ancient Tree): Leaf material harvested from older tea trees, often valued for deeper texture, longer finish, and greater session endurance.
FAQ
Is this sheng Pu-erh very bitter?
It has a firm, classic structure. With shorter early steeps and a gentle pour, the bitterness stays clean and quickly transforms into sweetness.
Is 2015 a good year to drink now?
Yes. This vintage offers structure and clarity with a more settled edge than very young sheng, while still holding strong aging potential.
What brewing style suits this tea best?
Gongfu brewing highlights its layers and long finish. If you prefer a softer cup, slightly cooler water and gentler steeps work beautifully.
How should I store the cake?
Keep it in a clean, odor-free space with stable airflow, away from sunlight and strong smells. Consistency supports graceful aging.
