Category: Pu-erh thee
Met de hand geplukt van 60-80 jaar oude theebomen in Qian Jia Zhai, is deze Ai Lao Shou Pu-erh een publiekslieveling. Theebladeren van de afgelopen drie jaar zijn samengevoegd om deze speciale cake exclusief voor Smith Teamaker te creëren. Het stapelen van jaren van terroir zorgt voor een verbluffende progressie van smaken. Zacht, grindachtig en zoet – deze thee is een waar genot.
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.
