Von Hand gepflückt von 60–80 Jahre alten Teebäumen in Qian Jia Zhai, ist dieser Ai Lao Shou Pu-erh ein Publikumsliebling. Teeblätter der letzten drei Jahre wurden zu diesem besonderen Kuchen exklusiv für Smith Teamaker vermischt. Die Schichtung der Jahrgänge des Terroirs ermöglicht eine beeindruckende Geschmacksentwicklung. Mild, erdig und süß – dieser Tee ist ein wahrer Genuss.
The three-year blend really shows—each cup pours thick and smooth with that deep, earthy sweetness that builds as you sip. I’ve had cheaper ripe cakes before, but the body from these older trees is on another level. Already ordered a second one before finishing the first cake.
I've been drinking this every evening since the cake arrived, and the older-tree depth really comes through in every steep. That three-year blend makes the liquor silky-sweet with none of the harshness you sometimes get from younger pu-erh.
The blend of three harvests gives it a depth I don’t usually find in a single-crop cake, and the aged-tree leaves from Qian Jia Zhai make each steep smooth and grounding. I’ve been reaching for this one every evening since it arrived.
