This year we went all out to make a unique ripe blend! We blended 10 different teas from several regions and wet pile batches to create a complex and tasty ripe pu-erh that is worthy of aging! There are many leaf grades including cha tou, gong ting, and grades 1 through 5 all blended together to create something full-bodied and long lasting. 

This is also one of those ripes that will show many sides of itself as the session goes on. The inclusion of 15% cha tou (from two regions) allows this tea to last even longer.

Vacuum brewable

"I really enjoy this western style. I can leave it steeping in a vacuum thermos for a long time and the flavor remains lovely. Robust, just complex enough, and can be brewed several times."

— Shannon H. (5/5)

It's pleasant but low key

"Got this as a free sample.... Gave it a couple of brews, and it has some good chocolate notes, and might have benefitted from more tea in the pot. Feel that I've had a lot of much more interesting teas than this from Yunnan Sourcing."

— Justin H. (4/5)

Good tea, but don't expect anything extraordinary

"That's a nice puerh. Nothing extraordinary, but the price is also not high. Good daily drinker."

— Maxim (5/5)

Smooth ripe puerh

"A very good mellow ripe. Strong flavor on first steep and it mellows out for the next few steeps."

— Pat M. (5/5)

уютный

"великолепно!"

— Igor B. (5/5)

Wonderful tea

"This tea is good it can be brewed a lot, liked smell and taste, but lacks sweetness. In fact the tea is good, and tastes well without any defect, but there is nothing that makes it "special". Anyway a recommended tea."

— David G. (4/5)

— Elliot (5/5)

Nice

"Mild wo dui aroma. Gonna age nicely"

— fuzz (5/5)

excellent

"For me, this is the best from the yunnansourcing brand shu range. Similar to the previous year of the pig. There is life and mobility in it. There is a slight wet pile scent aroma which is very pleasant. Liked more than Cozy an big snow mountain, and is cheaper"

— Dmitrij (5/5)

Great

"No funk from fermentation after letting it rest here for three months (only on gaiwan lid). Very clean. Chocolatey with some jujube. Thick liquor, pleasant bitterness and very clean. Excellent to drink right now, even on an empty stomach and brewed strong, which was a real surprise."

— Luo H. (4/5)
