Ha Giang Gu Shu Sheng Puerh, 2019
Ha Giang Gu Shu Sheng Puerh | "Sheng puerh from ancient tea trees of Ha Giang"
Ha Giang, Vietnam
This is our tea master's project together with the Vietnamese Tea Association, whose goal is to popularize tea made from the leaves of ancient tea trees. This is an unusual and very interesting red tea made from the leaves of trees, which are about 500 years old. These tea trees grow in the wild, high in the mountains, at an altitude of about 1200 meters above sea level. Completely handmade, this tea is picked by the local minorities in the first week of April and produced by our tea masters team. In the production process, only high-quality organic raw materials were used - “a bud and two leaves”.
Young, but very promising Sheng pu-erh, already now pleases with its noble taste without a hint of tartness and bitterness. There is tremendous potential in it, but so far it is only freshness and greens. In its dry form, tea leaves have a fresh aroma, with light notes of dried fruits and berries. And this is what is likely to develop in this tea over the years. Right now there is a light and soft liqueur, with forest and mushroom notes. Tea is very easy to drink, withstands a large number of tea infusions with the Ping Cha method, warms well and gives energy.
Harvest: Spring, 2019.
