Overview
Pairing: sushi, steamed vegetables, or citrusy salads
A green (sheng) pu-erh made from leaves from Daxue Mountain, in the Lincang region of Yunnan. It was pressed into a bingcha in 2008, and has a balanced flavor of vanilla and pleasant minerality, with a sweet hay aroma; good for drinking now, we expect it to mellow and age well. The wrapping paper is decorated with a traditional wood block print of waves.Steep with water just under boiling; rinse leaves quickly before the first infusion, and enjoy multiple cups from the same leaves.
