OLD SHU PU'ER from OLD TREES 1991

ORIGIN
Vietnam is known as one of the oldest tea regions in the world, with a vast area of ancient tea trees spreading from northeast to northwest. Hà Giang province is located in the northeast part of Vietnam on the border with Yunnan province, China. This region is famous for its wild ancient trees grown here for hundreds and even thousands of years. The unique climate, high altitude, rich soil, and high humidity create an excellent environment for tea trees to grow, giving this tea a particularly special character and taste. This is a homeland of different minorities like Vietnamese, H'Mông, Tay, Kinh, Nung, Dao, and others, traditionally using tea leaves as medicine and taking care of the tea trees.

Made from high-quality young spring buds harvested from 200+ year-old tea trees, this tea is unique due to its rarity. It is harvested by the H'Mong minority high in the mountains at an altitude of about 1200 meters and processed by a local tea master.

ORGANOLEPTICS
The dry tea leaves have a sweet, fresh aroma with notes of betel nuts, raw potatoes, and earth—familiar to lovers of classic Liu Bao and aged teas stored in humid conditions. When warmed, the leaves reveal warm woody notes with a hint of eucalyptus. After rinsing, nutty and soy-like tones emerge.

The tea brews into a dark infusion with shades of aged whiskey or dark amber. The taste is rich, deep, and full-bodied, with woody, nutty, and bean notes. It leaves a long-lasting woody aftertaste and warms the body. The tea endures multiple infusions, becoming softer and sweeter over time. Its calming energy helps one relax and enter a meditative state. This tea has a distinct character and rightfully belongs among the great aged teas.
