ABOUT
As a huge fan of Pu'Er tea, I am always on the lookout for something special and unusual during my travels. This tea is one of my best finds during all my travels to Vietnam. Tea leaves harvested from 150-year-old tea trees and aged for 4 years in the mountains of Hà Giàng province, this tea is a stunning example of mature Sheng (Raw) Pu'Er aged in the humid conditions of the Vietnamese mountains. In 2023, we purchased a small lot and personally pressed this tea into 200 g cakes for further storage.
Limited quantity tea, available only in our store.
SHAN TEA is a unique wild variety of Camellia Sinensis that grows high in the mountains of the Northern part of Vietnam. SHAN TEA or 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
Large, whole tea leaves, traditionally stone-pressed, are easily disassembled into individual leaves, allowing you to preserve the integrity and beauty of the raw material. Dry tea leaves have a noble, fresh, soft, and sweet aroma, with dried fruit and slightly woody notes. The warmed tea leaf continues with more woody, honey, and nutty motifs. After rinsing, the aroma reveals dried fruits, bakery, and woody motifs. Clear notes of plum, prunes, raisins, and sweet and sour bread.
The tea is not afraid of high temperatures and long infusions and gives a wonderful amber color infusion. The taste is sweet and sour, soft and deep, with an oily and slightly milky texture. The taste is dominated by dried fruit and woody notes. The tea is deep and multifaceted, possessing all the qualities of semi-aged Sheng. With a longer infusion, it gives a thick, honey infusion with a soft and deep taste. The tea has a noble and at the same time obvious energy of the mountains, resulting in a tuning, leveling, and meditative effect. We highly recommend trying this stunning tea, which is a great example of how aging tea becomes an art.
