Sheng Puerh
Sheng, or raw, Pu Erh is a post-fermented Chinese tea from Yunnan province that is naturally aged over a long period of time, in contrast to Shou Pu Erh which undergoes an accelerated fermentation process. Young Sheng Pu Erh that have matured for up to five years have a fresh, lively flavour reminiscent of strong green tea, while older Shengs are more rounded, fruity and ripe with a calming character. Many of our Sheng Pu Erh cakes are also available in smaller broken pieces of cake, as well as loose leaf Maocha.
Maocha Pu Erh
For some of our young Sheng Pu Erh, we keep limited quantities of Maocha 毛茶 in reserve. Maocha, which translates to "raw tea," refers to the pre-processed but still unpressed leaves of Pu Erh. While it does not possess the same aging potential as the pressed cakes, the delicate, intact leaves offer a particularly accessible, immediate Pu Erh experience. In terms of flavour, Maocha tends to be somewhat milder in comparison.

Lincang Region
Lincang is located in the southwestern part of Yunnan, with its western fringes merging directly into the monumental Himalayan mountain range. Some of the oldest tea trees in the world are found here, with some dated by scientists to be well over 1,000 years old. Alongside an excellent entry-level Sheng Pu Erh, we offer premium Gushu ("ancient tree") Pu Erh from the renowned regions of Ba Nuo (壩糯), Xiao Hu Sai (小戶賽), Yun Xian (雲縣), and a rare so-called Danzhu from Na Jiao (那焦), whose leaves are harvested exclusively from a single tree.

Pu Erh Region
The former tea trading capital after which Pu Erh tea is named after is located in south central Yunnan, where there are a number of smaller, lesser known growing areas. In recent times the region around Jingmai mountain has gained many new fans for its particularly floral and sweet Pu Erh.
