This one-year aged pu’erh tea from China’s Yunnan Province is unlike anything else in our collection. Sheng pu’erh is a “raw” tea, meaning it continues to mature and improve with age. Brew a cup today and it’ll be delightfully nutty and earthy, with notes of sweet floral honey and a cooling camphor finish. Try it again in a year or two and it’ll be sweeter and mellower. That is, if you can wait that long…
