In Yunnan Province, the red soil is enriched with iron, so Pu'er tea also contains this valuable mineral, which is beneficial for the human body. Tea from this province contains more polyphenolic organic compounds, which are the most powerful antioxidants. Shu Pu'er has a beneficial effect on the health of the stomach and digestion in general.

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 level of humidity create an excellent environment for tea trees to grow, which gives 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, who traditionally use tea leaves as medicine and take care of the tea trees.
Made from high-quality spring material harvested from 500 years 500-year-old tea trees, this tea is unique due to its rareness. Harvested by the H'Mong minority high in a mountain at an altitude of about 1500 meters and processed by an experienced tea master, this tea represents authentic wild tea with special aroma, taste, and energy.
Today, fermented tea is quite a rare thing in Vietnam, and there are very few masters who know how to make high-quality fermented tea. Despite this, from time to time, it is possible to find small batches of fairly well-produced fermented tea, which shows its strength over time. I mean rich, deep, soft, and most importantly pure taste, strong aroma, and, of course, a positive effect on the human body.
I am proud to present you the Shu (Ripe) Pu'Er, made according to all the canons of authentic fermented pu'er, from the leaves of ancient tea trees growing high in the mountains, deep in the jungle. This raw material has undergone a medium degree of fermentation to further taste transformation. The degree of pressing is average with a stronger one towards the center of the cake, which made it possible to store the tea in the more humid conditions of Vietnam mountains.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Dry tea leaves have a light, sweet, woody aroma. Once warmed up, the aroma continues with sweet, nutty, bread, and tobacco notes. After rinsing, the aroma develops into a soft, clean, woody, nutty story. Some bakery notes with light creamy overtones. This Shu Pu'er is an excellent everyday drink, as well as suited for further storage since the medium degree of fermentation gives the tea great potential for further flavor transformations.
The taste of the infusion is sweet, and rich, with woody notes, as well as nutty notes in the aftertaste. With further brewing, the taste develops into coffee and cocoa beans. Creamy texture, long sweet vanilla aftertaste, dark balsam color of the infusion. Thanks to the tea leaves harvested high in the mountains, the tea has a noble and clear energy, which gives the drink a tuning, energizing character. Wonderful authentic Shu Pu'Er from those who still remember how to make that authentic one.
