From Jesse's Teahouse

This is my tea friend Yunqing’s personal blend. Every year he goes to the tea hills in Mengsong, Yunnan, and chooses the best raw pu’er from 200+ year old ancient tea trees. These leaves are pressed by hand with stone tools to their current shape.

The result is one of my favorite teas I’ve ever had – it’s a powerful raw pu’er that is deep, energizing, and exudes a wonderful aroma.

The color is rich gold and the flavor is sweet with a well-balanced tannin-ey astringency.

This one is temperamental. Brewing parameters are pretty important to get a delicious result out of this sheng, but when you get it right it’s pretty darn good. The cha qi is also invigorating and uplifting without being jittery. Notes of leather, latex, smoke, honey, and lychee. After every sip your tongue becomes a battleground of sweet and astringent which lingers for minutes until they fade away, neither side having won the battle.

Flavors: Leather, Lychee, Smoke
