In 2022 we pressed a series of small batch shou Puer blends that incorporated experimental lighter ferment styles of shou Puer with the intent to age them before release. These teas are now being released in 2026 after ~4 year of aging in our Guangzhou storage. They are still developing, but drinkable straight away. This will not be a traditional shou Puer experience, as they incorporate more character, nuance and raw Puer characteristic than most shou Puer. 2022 Fleet operates somewhere in between raw and ripe, with a significant amount of very light ferment material that showcases the original raw characteristics. Stone fruit and berry tarts, pastries dusted with cocoa powder. The long lingering huigan (returning sweetness) is a rare feature of this shou. A hell of a lot cheaper than drinking well stored 40 year old raw Puer every day and at a fraction of the price its a remarkably good mimic. Each cake is 200 grams of tea. Pressed in 2022, Released in 2026.
