When we decide to add shu pu-erh to our line-up, you know it must be interesting!

2002 Aged Gong Ting Shu Pu-Erh was produced from the highest gong ting grade – only young leaves and gold buds were used.

Around 20 years of humid storage in Taiwan made this tea well aged, smooth but thick at the same time. Aftertaste is sweet like jujube!

What you will find here: dark and thick liquor with strong mineral notes enriched by chinese dates, wood and wet forest floor.

This charming cake pretends to look like CNNP cakes, but for sure it was made by small private factory somewhere in Yunnan.

Description

Origin: Menghai, Yunnan, China.

Vintage: 2002, Taiwanese humid storage

Cultivar: Camellia Sinensis var. Assamica – gong ting grade

Age of trees: unknown.

Temperature of water and amount of leaves: 100 C 7-8g/100ml.
Suggested brewing method: Yixing clay teapot or gaiwan of low capacity. First, you should pre-heat empty teapot/gaiwan and tea cups with boiling water. When the teapot is warmed, then you put the tea leaves in. After smelling hot and dry leaves in the pot, rinse the tea for 5-10 seconds using boiling water and afterwards pour out all the water from your pot. The process of rinsing tea leaves is often defined as a waking the tea and is very important for quality of next brewings. Main aim of waking the tea is to remove caffeine and eventual pollution from old tea aged for many years. First drinkable infusion should be very short- not more than 10-20 second. We suggest to increase brewing time for 5-10 seconds in each next brewing.
