ORGANIC & EXCELLENCE TEAS
Fermented dark Pu'er tea
Mini cake 8-10g
This cooked dark tea (shu) has a very flattering, typical nose evoking waxed wood and mildew (quite normal, and even desirable for this type of tea). On the first infusion, it reveals a very telluric profile, and becomes even earthier on the second, with a slight acidity. It's an excellent introduction to the world of fired Pu'er teas, as its palette is so representative of what we've come to expect from this style of tea.
