2015 Purple Tree Sheng - Pu'er Tea

silky - dark fruit - sweet

Grown at 2.000m and picked from three family gardens, this Chinese Pu'er is fully hand-made and stone-pressed. Can be brewed frequently.

This stone-pressed aged sheng Pu’er from Nanmei, Yunnan, China, is made from natural dark purple leaves that give the tea its unique, refined taste. This tea has a timeless character - balanced, deep, and gradually revealing complex notes of ripe fruit and fine wood with each infusion. Its presence on the palate is remarkable, long-lasting, and harmonious.

We are proud to present this tea in collaboration with Olivier Schneider, a French tea expert with over 20 years of research on Pu’er taste, processing, and culture. After a decade in Yunnan, he now lives in Thailand, where he cultivates a centuries-old tea garden and continues to explore and experiment with teas. His work is always guided by deep respect for traditional methods, terroir, and tea culture.

Brewing
