This is our second EOT “Earth" Old Tree Shu Puerh since producing our first batch found here:
https://essenceoftea.com/collections/puerh-tea/products/2021-earth-old-tree-shu-puerh
We received such great feedback on this first “Earth" Old Tree Shu Puerh that we decided to make this cake our regular Shu Puerh cake. These cakes allow us to support our long term relationship with tea farmers in the mountains whose tea we use to produce this nice clean old tree Shu Puerh cake.
We used the exact same materials and same formula when making this second “Earth" batch, and continued using spring water to moisten the tea leaves as well. We worked with the same fermentation manager for this batch, however, he let the tea ferment a bit longer than before, producing more sweet and woody results. There is much energy and vibrancy in the leaves and after resting for more than 12 months now, the wo dui (fermentation) aroma and flavours have faded quite a lot.
We’re very happy with how this tea has turned out. It’s vibrant, warming, smooth and very comfortable to drink…. it’s even turning us into Shu Puerh drinkers!

white2teaThe weather is beginning to turn, and my garden is slowly starting to wither. We had a light rain, and I try to spend time with them before they all disappear. Each year is always bittersweet for me to say goodbye to my friends. Weird; I know.
I decided to sit out in the soil and brew this alongside my plants and the little critters about. This shu is partially fermented, so it’s on the dry side. the leaves are very well done and invite a unique experience. I was welcomed with stable notes of red oak, petrichor, and spiced rye. The finish introduced a subtle sweetness, fungus, and warm earth. These leaves carry a vibrant energy that builds with each steep; truly invigorating. I sat among my green survivors, with soft music, and warm tea. This brew wrapped the experience warmly and delivered soft gentle kisses among the rain.
