Overview
Best pick • solid dark choice from Unknown origin
Same name, different tea. Our Ripeness redux returns with many of the same qualities that made the original a success, at a price that fits any budget. Using a blend of Daxueshan and Menghai material, this inky shou balances a smooth and rich texture with a surprisingly crisp flavour that delivers a slight fruity-sweetness. This tea uses 2018 material, fermented in early 2020 and pressed in March of 2021. While there has been plenty of time for this tea to rest off the pile, newly pressed shou can remain cloudy as it settles in. Expect the soup to become more vibrant as time goes on. $0.13/gram
