2007 Rose Shu Tuocha

Part of Wang Yanxin’s guest curator pu’er collection, an opportunity to try unique pu’ers from growing regions and workshops across Yunnan.

Tasting Profile
very fruity – elderberry, orange zest
very floral – candied rose
savory – steamed bun
very spicy – licorice root, redwood

Rose petals have become a highly traditional pairing with shu pu’er, and Wan Yuan workshop’s pressing is a fantastic example of how these two flavors can work together in harmony. The florals of rose are already deep and textural. When they combine with a clean high quality shu pu’er, over time they bring out vaporous spice and texture in the tea. Wan Yuan’s slow clean fermentation means this tea is not weighed down, but rather unfolds delightfully on the pallet, bolstered by 12 years of aging.
