Spring 2020 harvested tea from pu-erh tea bushes (pure Assamica varietal) growing near Shi Tou Xin Zhai village in the Nannuo Mountains of Xishhuangbanna.

Processed without frying this sun-dried white is fruity and sweet with a unique flavor that's something of a cross between black tea and raw pu-erh.  Sweet, malty, grassy, and fruity with a nice little umami punch too!

Each leaf is individually wrapped and is roughly 7 grams of tea (+/- 1 gram)

Sold by weight (weight includes the weight of the foil wrapper)

Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 5 reviews.

Reviews

This tea is aging beautifully

"I purchased this tea in 2001 and thought it was good, but not exemplary. I tucked it way in our tea collection and forgot about it until recently. When I rediscovered it and brewed it again I was very impressed with the improvement a few more years of aging has brought about. I not longer notice the "grassy" notes mentioned in the description but the sweet, malty, fruity notes are quite apparent. I also find some resemblance to a Darjeeling tea, in particular old school 2nd flush styles from the 1970's. Now it is very fine tea indeed."

Yum

"These last a long time, pretty much an all day session."

— J B. (4/5)

Quaint delicate flavor

"Delicate nutty flavor, reminds me of darjeeling. The wet tea leaves smell like roses and grape leaves. I bet this would pair well with a Mediterranean dish."

— Asia E. (5/5)

Great gift

"My family member was very happy with the tea. Thank you."

— Kristin G. (5/5)

Sweet and Exciting

"Smooth with hints of fruity notes. The excitement of the tea leaf pressing might have added half a point to the score alone, with many colours mixed together, a visual delight. Great for gift baskets and travel. Many steeps without any disappointments in taste or strength. Will order again."

— Amanda S. (5/5)

Q&A

Is this considered a Puerh tea made with white tea as a base or a white tea? If this is Puehr, was it produced using the shou or sheng process? Thank you!
It's white tea.
This looks and sounds like a wonderful gift. What are the brewing instructions for this tea?
Please refer to our brewing guide here: https://yunnansourcing.com/pages/brewing-guide-for-green-black-oolong-and-pu-erh-teas
Is this to be brewed as a puerh (95-100c) or as a White tea (85c?)
I'd start with 90C water. You can push this tea with somewhat longer steeps as well.
