Zhong He Shu Pu'er, 2016 (Ripe Pu-erh) from Fengqing town, Lincang, Yunnan, China.
Grown by Master Wang in his small family farm using traditional sustainable agriculture methods, fed with ecological compost made from organic waste and without modern fertilizers. The tea underwent a natural enzymatic post-fermentation using the traditional Shu Pu'er method, without added external fungus or cultures. After 9 years of aging, it has reached enough maturity for immediate drinking – though we recommend storing it in its original packaging for further passive aging (see storage instructions).
The tea was hand-rolled into balls weighing approx. 6.5 grams each (weight may vary slightly). Don’t mistake it for an industrial or cheap factory blend – it is a boutique natural blend, made from high-quality material, which we decided to compress into dragon balls due to its affordable price and accessible flavor profile.
A particularly convenient version suitable for all levels, especially for those looking to explore the world of Shu Pu’er without committing to a full cake – yet unwilling to compromise on quality. One of our most popular and best-selling teas, with over 40 kg sold to date.
A warming and balanced Shu Pu’er that supports digestion and liver function. Especially suitable for drinking during the winter season.
Now comes in a reusable zipper craft bag suitable for aging.
