2008 Xi Zi Hao Xi Shang Jia Xi Shu Pu-Erh

An outstanding, strong but relaxing Shu (ripe) Pu-Erh from wild growing trees.

Leaves from the spring harvest of old tea trees growing at around 1800m altitude were fermented for several weeks and then taken to mature in a dry, ventilated warehouse in Taiwan. This tea is a private production of the Taiwanese company Xi Zi Hao.

The liquor is delicious, very dense, smooth, almost creamy, noticably something special. The bodyfeel is slightly relaxing.

flavour profile: sweet, smooth, creamy, dense, full
