{"product_id":"2026-yunnan-sourcing-cozy-certified-organic-ripe-pu-erh-tea","title":"2026 Yunnan Sourcing \"Cozy\" Certified Organic Ripe Pu-erh Tea","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"694\" data-start=\"165\"\u003eOur 2026 release of Cozy is exactly what the name promises: a comforting, velvety, cha tou-heavy ripe pu-erh built for slow evenings, cold weather, and relaxed sessions. This year’s blend was made possible by a particularly lovely gift from our organic tea grower, who offered us some beautifully aged 2023 wet-piled organic cha tou. We blended those rich, dense tea nuggets with 2025 wet-piled organic loose leaf ripe pu-erh of various leaf grades to create a tea that is smooth, sweet, thick, and deeply satisfying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1246\" data-start=\"696\"\u003eThe result is a ripe tea with a plush, rounded character and an especially soothing texture. The older cha tou gives the blend depth, body, and that extra silky, almost creamy feeling in the mouth, while the newer 2025 ripe material brings liveliness, sweetness, and aromatic lift. Altogether, this is a ripe tea that feels warm, friendly, and effortlessly drinkable, with notes of fruit, soft earth, and mellow sweetness. It is a perfect tea for unwinding, winter hibernation, or any time you want a ripe pu-erh that feels gentle without being dull.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1801\" data-start=\"1268\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1359\" data-start=\"1268\" data-section-id=\"109vjox\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1294\" data-start=\"1270\"\u003eCha tou-heavy blend:\u003c\/strong\u003e aged 2023 organic cha tou gives extra body, thickness, and depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1542\" data-start=\"1455\" data-section-id=\"ynpf3v\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1479\" data-start=\"1457\"\u003eCertified organic:\u003c\/strong\u003e certified by EcoCert SA to international organic standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1626\" data-start=\"1543\" data-section-id=\"1vf8ed2\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1572\" data-start=\"1545\"\u003ePure assamica material:\u003c\/strong\u003e grown from organically cultivated assamica tea bushes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1729\" data-start=\"1627\" data-section-id=\"1jk849m\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1654\" data-start=\"1629\"\u003eHigh mountain origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e grown at 1,300–1,350 meters on Ma Wei Mountain, west of Pu’er City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"1819\" data-start=\"1803\" data-section-id=\"1yuwa5w\"\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"2238\" data-start=\"1820\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1894\" data-start=\"1820\" data-section-id=\"1natwd9\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1832\" data-start=\"1822\"\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e sweet earth, dried fruit, cocoa, warm wood, and soft molasses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1945\" data-start=\"1895\" data-section-id=\"1vblelz\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1908\" data-start=\"1897\"\u003eLiquor:\u003c\/strong\u003e deep reddish-brown, clear and glossy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2057\" data-start=\"1946\" data-section-id=\"byienl\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"1959\" data-start=\"1948\"\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e smooth and velvety with notes of ripe fruit, sweet earth, cocoa, and gentle caramelized sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2140\" data-start=\"2058\" data-section-id=\"5034uz\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"2074\" data-start=\"2060\"\u003eMouthfeel:\u003c\/strong\u003e thick, soft, and coating, with a distinctly plush cha tou texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2238\" data-start=\"2141\" data-section-id=\"hpohmf\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"2161\" data-start=\"2143\"\u003eFinish \u0026amp; feel:\u003c\/strong\u003e relaxing, comforting, and lingering with mild sweetness and a calm body feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-end=\"2264\" data-start=\"2240\" data-section-id=\"1uxva6b\"\u003eMaterial \u0026amp; processing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"2675\" data-start=\"2265\"\u003eThe leaves used in this tea cake were harvested from organically cultivated pure assamica varietal tea bushes growing at an altitude of 1,300–1,350 meters (4,300–4,450 feet) on the summit of Ma Wei Mountain, just west of Pu’er City.
