SNOW SHAN SHENG PU'ER 2023

ABOUT
This is our second blend which continues our author's product line created by AN TRÀ and AN SHIM TEA with the help of the Vietnamese Tea Association. Made from high-quality spring raw material harvested from 350+ years old tea trees from different provinces and aged in natural storage for several years before being blended and pressed in 2023. All the material is 'one bud and two leaves'. Very light and sweet, and ready to impress those who don't like astringency and bitterness in Pu'Er tea. This one is very smooth and delicious! The average age of raw material is about 3 years so it already gained some character and deepness. At the same time, this one is very different from our first blend "7566" and gives you more experience with Snow Shan tea from Vietnam.

SNOW SHAN (snow-upon-a-high-mountain) arises from the thick snow-white coat of fur that embraces each silky green tea bud. This telling feature enables the tea leaves to thrive at a height of 2000 meters above sea level, hampered by bitingly cold and frosty climate all year round. Ranging along North West Mountainous area: from Hà Giang, Yên Bái, Lào Cai to Lai Châu, Điện Biên, Sơn La ... Each of those lands is filled with Snow Shan Tea traces. Depending on the different soil conditions, climate, harvesting habits, and crafty processing methods in each province, Snow Shan Tea Taste would vary accordingly.
