2016 Ancient Trees Pu'er Sheng Pu - loose leaves

Centuries upon centuries have slowly shaped these ancient trees during their natural growth in the wild forest of Lunan Mountain, at 1.850 m asl. This brew has the full flower taste typical of the Menghai area. It boasts a round and fresh palate even when prepared just before fermentation.

The leaves are carefully hand-picked and processed by one of the best tea masters of the area in order to obtain the centuries-old flavor of our authentic pu’er tea. This shengpu has not undergone any accelerated fermentation process, as it would undermine the high quality of the leaves.
This tea changes according to the location and season. The flavor continues to transform over time, incorporating the aromas of the places you transport it to.

Our 2016 Shengpu aged Pu'er tea from the ancient trees on mount Lunan is available only in loose-leaves. Have a taste of different seasons with our pressed cakes of ancient trees Shengpu from 2019 , 2020 , 2021 , 2022.
