2013 Ancient Tree Sheng Pu’er — A Clear, Aged Brightness
A 357g raw (sheng) pu-erh cake from Yunnan ancient-tree material, patiently dry-stored for 9 years to reveal a cup that feels cleaner, smoother, and more composed—still lively, yet gently rounded by time.
What It Tastes Like
This 2013 sheng pu-erh pours a warm golden liquor with a bright lift at the front, then settles into a mellow sweetness. You’ll notice a soft fruit impression—think apricot and light honey—followed by a clean, mineral finish that lingers on the palate.

Why Collectors Choose Aged Dry Storage

- Layered aftertaste: sweetness and aroma build across infusions instead of fading quickly.
Best For
- Drinkers who want aged character without heavy, earthy notes
- Gongfu sessions that reward slow, mindful tasting
- Cellaring and revisiting over seasons to track change

Brewing Guide (Simple & Consistent)
| Gongfu Style (recommended) | 5–7g tea · 100ml water · 95–100°C Optional quick rinse · then 10–15s first steep, add time gradually. Aged sheng often rewards short, repeated infusions. |
|---|---|
| Teapot / Western Style | 3–4g tea · 300–400ml water · 95–100°C Steep 2–3 minutes. If it feels strong, reduce time rather than temperature. |
| Pro Tip | If your water is very soft, use a slightly higher dose for better structure. If it’s very hard, shorten steep times for a cleaner finish. |
Our Selection Philosophy
Tealibere curates teas with a focus on origin transparency, aging potential, and everyday drinkability. Rather than chasing rarity for its own sake, we select teas that clearly express place, time, and material—so each cup feels grounded, honest, and easy to return to.
Every pu-erh we offer is chosen through hands-on tasting across multiple infusions, with attention to how the tea behaves in real drinking sessions—not just how it performs in a single steep.

FAQ
Is this tea more “aged” or more “fresh” in character?
It sits in the balanced middle: you get aged smoothness and composure, while the cup remains bright and aromatic rather than dark or earthy.
Can I drink it daily?
Yes—many people enjoy aged sheng as a daily tea because it can feel clean, steady, and refreshing. Adjust leaf amount and steep time to your preference.
Should I keep aging the cake?
If stored well, it can continue to evolve. Many collectors enjoy tasting it now, then revisiting seasonally to notice how sweetness and aroma deepen.
