our best selling shou pu’er tea is back with a new vintage as part of our new collection …from liminal spaces

comprised of old tree material from yiwu & bulang mountain in yunnan, china, this is a shou that meets the benchmark of a classic shou, yet dissolves beyond the binary of its contemporary expectations. while bold and holding with the semblances of earth, the brooding expresses nuance through a sensory interplay of dark and light. this reflects in its energetics too, with a grounding and driving cha qi. 

this tea is a great candidate to blend with return & a hum from the roots of something archaic.
