Profile:
Harvested in early spring from the high-elevation tea gardens of Pa Sha, this aged raw Pu Er offers an elegant balance of fragrance, strength, and lingering sweetness. Pa Sha lies between Nannuo Mountain and Bulang Mountain and is known for teas that combine a lifted mountain aroma with a firm, structured character.

After years of natural ageing, the tea has developed a smooth and rounded liquor while retaining its refreshing energy. Floral and honeyed aromas unfold into layers of dried apricot, sweet herbs, and gentle woody undertones. A pleasant initial bitterness quickly transforms into a clean sweetness that returns across the palate and lingers after each sip.

Taste:
Floral and honeyed, with notes of dried apricot, sweet herbs, and soft wood. The liquor is bright and full-bodied, with refined bitterness, a gentle mineral quality, and a long-lasting sweet finish.

Brewing Suggestions:
8 grams of tea leaves | 100°C water | Steep for 10 seconds | Re-infuse 6–8 times

Rinse the leaves briefly before the first infusion. Gradually extend the steeping time with each subsequent infusion.

Storage Recommendation:
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from sunlight, moisture, and strong odours. Avoid storing Pu Er tea in the kitchen, as tea readily absorbs surrounding aromas.
