Vietnam Pu er 2010 Sung Do
This post fermented tea from Vietnam has been aged since 2010. The controlled fermentation process of the leaves, using heat and humidity, give a style of aged teas known as “Shou” in China. As the chemistry of the tea changes with the naturally activity of environmental bacterias, it develops round, earthy, low-tannin liquors.
