2020 Pu'er Sheng pu, Wild Forest stone-pressed cake

A sweet and clear freshness is the first hint of these wild forest sheng pu leaves, delicately picked by hand in our precious land, on Nannuo mountain.

Their inebriating aftertaste is like a fresh breeze after a raging storm: this vigour is the result of the strong endurance of the wild forest, that managed to survive a severe drought, bringing to your cup its strong will to live, and its mesmerizing underwood aroma. 

The Bamboo Ti is the best way to store the young leaves, to let them age slowly and unveil new and ever changing flavours. 

Harvested by hand in Spring 2020.
