2021 Huazhuliangzi Pu'er Shupu
This shupu reflects its character: it is soft and creamy, like an almond tart; bitterness and astringency are limited: its mouthfeel is full and friendly like a mousse, or a ripe sugar-apple, a gentle base from where hints of cinnamon and fresh mountain herbs arise.
We thought this tea a perfect companion for delicate sweets and even a tropical-fruit mousse; stored in Banna until late 2022, it is ready to be drunk and it promises a further maturation for the years to come, following the evolution of your own life.
Its mineral aftertaste immediately connects it with the pu'er shengpu from the same mountain and harvest: explore Huazhuliangzi heights and flavours adding two or more of its teas to your cart to get a 10% discount at the checkout.

Customer Reviews
This is a cozy dessert-like shupu. It reminds us of soft caramel dipped in milk chocolate. We really love this tea!
Dear Rochelle, thank you for your kind and beautiful review! This tea is a favorite of ours, and so often we brew it to treat our friends, in so many different occasions: it never fails, even as daily treat. We are working on new shupu teas together with the same, beloved master of ours that worked on this tea... let's see after the rainy season. A warm regard :-)
I have seldom found such a direct and clean shupu: I perceive all its aromas, without any defect or excessive earthiness. I love its clarity, and I find it suitable for every season. Definitely a great value, I am considering a second cake.
It is very delicate tea with a bit of sweetness, bit of earthiness, you can find a taste of prunes in the brew.
