Håndplukket fra 60-80 år gamle te-trær i Qian Jia Zhai, er denne Ai Lao Shou Pu-erh en publikumsfavoritt. Teblader fra de siste tre årene er blandet sammen for å skape denne spesielle kaken eksklusivt for Smith Teamaker. Å legge lag av terroir over år gir en smaksutvikling som er imponerende. Mild, grusete og søt – denne teen er en sann nytelse.
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.
