"AN III" SNOW SHAN SHENG PU'ER 2023

ABOUT
AN III is our third signature Sheng (Raw) Pu'Er, made by blending various raw materials from different provinces of Vietnam. This blend consists of raw materials harvested from 350-500-year-old tea trees in different years and aged in Vietnam's natural storage for several years before being blended and pressed in 2023. This is our third blend which continues our author's product line created by AN TRÀ and AN SHIM TEA with the help of the Vietnamese Tea Association. We tried to make a rich and balanced tea, different from our previous blends 7566 and AN II, by using very special Mao Cha with unique flavour and character which makes this one very special.

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.

ORGANOLEPTICS
Dry tea leaves have a soft and sweet fragrance, with notes of honey and dried fruits, as well as light woody notes. After warming up, the aroma continues with spring, woody, and forest motifs. Some wildflowers, dried herbs, dry wood, and sweet and sour bread. After rinsing, the tea reveals sweet, fruity notes. The aroma, characteristic of more aged teas, speaks of its semi-aged character.

The taste of the tea is deep, soft, and rich. The creamy texture, continues with a long and sweet finish, with vanilla notes. The taste has floral, honey, fruity, and pastry motifs. The amber color of the infusion speaks of his endurance and tendency to further transformation. The tea is quite young but already capable of pleasing with its depth and versatility of taste. With a longer infusion, tea is capable of producing deep woody notes with a slight tartness, leading to a long, sweet, fragrant aftertaste. This tea has all the criteria for a good Sheng Pu'Er. Soft and deep in taste, it is an excellent choice for today, and its strength and depth can be the key to its wonderful future. The tea has a distinct mountain energy and also has a calming, concentrating effect.
