From Siam Tee Shop

Ancient Snow Shan Sheng Pu Erh Tee 1+2 is an unripened “hei cha” from ancient tea trees in Vietnam’s northernmost province, Ha Giang. Only the young buds, each with two leaves attached to it, are picked for this tea – of course, by hand. Like all teas from our producer partner in Ha Giang, the processing of their pu erh teas is rooted in ancient local artisan traditions. This, along with a genuine passion for producing tea, leads to a level of picking and processing excellence that is about unprecedented in the industry.

Fifth of 7 teas from SiamTeas Clubbox January ’23 – Tuyet Shan

Western steeping of 4 grams of this unusual terroir sheng. 4 minutes steeping, boiling water that cooled down for a few minutes, approx. temperature 90°C.

Dry leaf aroma was “typical” sheng profile, hay and strong bitterness, a little reminding me the pressed white teas, nothing much appealing.

Steeped tea aroma was fruity. I noticed mostly stonefruit, but sadly I wasn’t able to notice much more. I feel I am out of track in noticing flavors and scents. Maybe I need to drink more tea again and start searching the nuances again.

But flavour profile is distinctive enough! I have noticed certainly the stonefruits I mentioned in the aroma; and mostly it was smooth and highly enjoyable dried apricots and fresh peaches. There was also a little herbal note, reminding me a lemon balm or something like that… a little rough, but it wasn’t medicinal, you know. Long mouthfeel and aftertaste, mouth coating smooth quality.

If anyone told me that Vietnamese sheng could be so good, I would not believe them. But apparently, sheng and red oolong is something I will get in bigger quantity than this sample 10 grams… 25 or 50 grams will be sufficient.
