This is one of Master Zhou’s all time favorite teas. He kept ten and gave us the remaining thirty to share, as 2011 was a great year in Qianjiazhai, the Gu Hua harvest is his favorite for its rich full body and the Xiao Jin Gua pressing is much looser and more delicate which allows for even and fast aging. Already the tea is a beautiful red color, and full of the spice and nuance that five years has helped to build up. Extremely limited offering!

Yet another of my Spring 2020 clearance sipdowns!
This is a really lovely, quite special sheng puerh. I wish I’d bought a little cake of it, back in 2016 when I got the tea club delivery of it. The leafs smelled great, with those notes of forest floor and gentle floral undertones.
I brewed it up in my little flat Yixing pot and probably got through a good 8-10 infusions with it. The early steepings were rich in woody, herbal notes, with a clear honey-note that faded into a more muscular forest-floor flavour in the mid-steepings. As we carried on drinking, the honey note seemed to gently re-emerge and the tea continued to produce refreshing, slightly minerally, herbaceous cupfuls.
Flavors: Forest Floor, Herbaceous, Honey
