To celebrate the year of the monkey we created a distinctive and powerful blend of 2016 Autumn teas from wild arbor tea leaves growing in three different areas of Yunnan.  We painstakingly blended different recipes before settling on this one, which is thick and full-bodied with a balanced sweet, bitter, umami profile.  This is a tea worthy of aging or for those who enjoy drinking young raw pu-erh with good clean taste and pure cha qi, then this is a great choice for you!

 

Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.

Blossoming!

"This cake I bought on a whim because it was less expensive and a blend that Scott created. After almost 9 months this has really mellowed and there is a really multi-layered complexity too it. Floral, bitter, sweet and long lasting with thick tea soup! I am getting a tong for long-term aging!"

Friendly Monkey

"I concur - a good daily drinker, with a lot going on for the price. Caramelized floral aromas, with a 'baked goods' element. Subtle astringency, medium bodied, sweet and sialagogic. Very warm flavours. Qi is gentle and focusing, and then very relaxing - high theanine content? Pretty powerful effect. I kind of think the Immortal Monkey would prefer a peachier tea, this had more of an apple/apple skin element for me, which I enjoyed regardless. The other reviewer notes peach, however, so of course it's all subjective. Well worth trying."

Nice budget sheng

"Brews a very light yellow, tastes of fresh grass and green wood with hints of sugarcane, mushroom, honey, and canned peach. Fairly thick mouthfeel, little bitterness, but some astringency. Moderately but not overbearingly sweet. Mild, pleasant qi feelings. It’s a nice, for drinking now mild kind of sheng but overall fairly generic. I’d recommend it if you enjoy young sheng or greens and are looking for a daily drinker."
