“Gongfu! Enjoyed this shou paired with a delicious soft boiled duck egg (with a splash of maple hot sauce) for a delicious breakfast tea session. Apologies in advance to the anti-runny yolk crowd....” Read full tasting note
The 2022 Lisboa is a blend of our small batch shou Puer tea spanning several years and productions. Blended to be a strong balance of high quality material and bang for your buck, Lisboa has depth and complexity without sacrificing value and a smattering of lighter fermentation material geared towards aging potential and development down the road. Smooth bodied with layered sweetness and the hallmark earthy and woody toned character of a classic shou Puer tea.
The Lisboa cake was pressed in 2022. 200g cakes, with 5 cakes in a bamboo tong.
Gongfu!
Enjoyed this shou paired with a delicious soft boiled duck egg (with a splash of maple hot sauce) for a delicious breakfast tea session. Apologies in advance to the anti-runny yolk crowd. This was such a rich and unctuous way to start the day, though!! This shou in particular has a robust earthiness with a smooth woody character and sweeter dark undertones of molasses and brown sugar with just a hint of brothy umami weaved throughout everything else already going on in this complex blend of different ripe pu’erhs. The egg, with its golden and delicious yolk, is just as rich as the tea with a deeply creamy taste and texture alongside its own distinct umami character. So fatty and luxurious!! And of course, a hint of sweet and fiery hotsauce to break up the indulgence just a bit…
