In taste and aroma, delicate notes of freshly cut meadow grass and garden mint smoothly turn into fruity notes of peach, pear, and apple. When drinking this tea, you might want to simply close your eyes and enjoy this play of flavors. This tea gives a feeling of emotional uplift and a boost of energy, as well as inspiration, clear mind and strong concentration. You can drink it right away or leave it to age. Its aging potential reaches 90 years, which means this Sheng Pu-erh can literally be inherited.
The leaves for this tea are harvested from an 800-year old tree growing at an altitude of 1,800 meters in the gardens of Naka Village. This place is cut off from the rest of the world by dense forests, steep slopes, and crumbling roads. Naka village is home to the Lahu people who have been cultivating tea since ancient times and honor their ancient traditions of tea production.
In China, they believe that those who drink good tea regularly and with great relish, enjoying the company of friends and admiring the beautiful views, will live up to 108 years – hence the name of our Sheng Pu-erh.
