2017 Pu'er Sheng Pu, Wild Forest Aged Loose-leaf

These long and slender wild forest leaves are a sight for sore eyes, with their dark hues of brown embellished by the silver shimmer of tender young buds. Those who can't resist the charm of this special Sheng pu and decide to savor the delicate leaves without further delay will be surprised to taste their natural mountain-freshness, which meets the warm under-forest flavor of natural fermentation, all enriched by the typical floral aftertaste of Nannuo mountain. A great sweetness can be immediately perceived with the first sip, and its inebriating fragrance doesn't fade after savoring the golden liquor.

However, one can also decide to store the precious leaves, and let them continue their natural aging process, absorbing the aroma of the places it visits and secluding the taste of time passing.
