Ha Giang Gu Shu Sheng Puerh, 2017
Ha Giang Gu Shu Sheng Puerh | Sheng (Raw) Puerh from Ha Giang
Ha Giang, Vietnam.
This is a special tea as it is made entirely of raw materials picked from the oldest tea tree in Vietnam. A tree about 4-5 meters in height grows at an altitude of about 1,800 meters above sea level in a wild jungle. It is covered with fogs and clouds. Locals say that this tree is 600 years old. The place itself is called Ha Giang and located on the border with Yunnan, China. The tree itself is slowly dying that’s why probably soon it will stop harvesting what makes this tea very rare and exclusive.
Completely handmade.
Harvest: Spring, 2017.
“A very unusual sheng puer, with its unique flavor with mushroom notes. Like all young shengs tart, but after a few years it will be a soft drink with its original character.”
Andrei Ivanov (IPN.LV Tea master)
