Hand-plucked from 60-80 year old tea trees in Qian Jia Zhai, this Ai Lao Shou Pu-erh is a crowd pleaser. Tea leaves from the past three years were blended together to create this special cake exclusively for Smith Teamaker. Layering years of terroir allows for a progression of flavors that is stunning. Mellow, gravelly, and sweet – this tea is a true delight. Cake is 200g.

Ingredients: Full leaf lightly fermented tea from the Yunnan province of China, pressed into a cake.

Tasting Notes:Sticky toffee pudding, umeboshi plum, basalt

Bring spring or filtered water to approximately 212°F. Dislodge a 7g piece of pu-erh (approximately the size of a silver dollar). Steep in traditional gaiwan method—making multiple infusions, starting at 10-15 seconds and increase 5-10 seconds with each steeping. Further reading.

Storage: Unlike most tea, pu-erh improves with age and may be enjoyed for years. For best results, we recommend storing in a cool, dry place that is temperature controlled. Do not place near other aromatic ingredients such as coffee.
