This puer comes from wild, 100+ year old trees from a tea garden on stoney land; making this tea rich in minerals from the rocky terrain. The leaves of this a raw (sheng) puer are smaller than normal, likely due to the rugged landscape, which creates a more delicate taste since the tree works much harder to pull nutrition from rocky soil. With that in mind, perhaps you can imagine why they say this tea is as sweet as spring water and has the floral aroma of a sesame orchid. 

Puers tend to have a robust, strong energy to them, punchy like a smooth double espresso. This puer on the other hand offers balance. It feels like polarities within yourself merge – masculine and feminine, elevated and grounded, ideas and action. Not to mention it is great for people who have sensitive stomachs, plus it supports the gut in its fermented and has many trace minerals the body needs.

Like all good things, this tea gets better with age. Raw (sheng) puer tends to age slowly, perfect for anyone wanting a tea that can test time.
