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.

SHU PU'ER BRICK from HONG KONG'S TEMPLE 1990's
ORIGIN
This beautiful 1kg brick wrapped in a bamboo leaf is a rare find for pu'er tea connoisseurs. This tea made in Menhgai back in a late 1990's by the special order from Hong Kong's Buddhist temple, where monks use this tea for they everyday practice. We are lucky enough to have a limited quantity of this authentic tea to have a bite of true, non-commercial piece of art.
Authentic 'Menghai taste' beautifully combines bitterness, astringency, sweetness and mild flavor. The aftertaste is mostly bitter resulting in a sensation of freshness.
ORGANOLEPTICS
Dry tea has a woody and earthy aroma with a wet forest freshness. The taste is clean and sweet with woody, nutty and mineral notes developing during whole tea session. Definitely well aged tea character. Smooth and mellow texture bringing a cool sensation on the tongue. Clean infusion with dark amber colour. This tea has a well-aged tea character and great authentic shu pu'er palette as well as medicinal notes highly appreciated in an old tea. Noble tea which brings the sense of calm and peace.
Simple, authentic and calm.
