Pu er Sheng 2002 Yunnan Autumnal
Product code:
CSTVI-224
Matured with 'wet storage' in Hong Kong, this Pu Er Sheng will delight amateurs and neophytes looking for a classic aged tea. Its leaves are rich and its effect is warm.
Syrupy (fresh tobacco) and grainy (wheat bran) aspects are balanced by a delicate astringency and sustained flavours of beaten earth, raw potatoes and wet rocks.
Its presence at the bottom of the throat (Hui Gan) appreciated by experts of this terroir once again marks the trademark aspect of this tea.

From Youle Mountain, one of the famous 6 of Xishuangbanna, in the Chinese province of Yunnan, this Pu Er has been conditioned in large baskets, as is the tradition for teas of the Liu Bao style. Although the tea leaves keep minimal traces of this process (light stacking), we present it in loose leaf.
