Pairing: shortbread, fresh fruit, or mild cheeses
Originally intended to be a maocha-only offering, this certified organic Simao raw puer impressed us so much that we had to press it into cakes. For a tea that can easily fit into any budget, it has a lot to offer. The fragrance and soup teeters between savoury and sweet, with an excellent huigan persisting at the end. With notes of fruit and a gentle kuwei (pleasant bitterness), this tea covers an impressive amount of ground. Whether you enjoyed our initial loose offering or are yet to try it, this tea is sure to impress. $0.11/gram Region: Simao, Yunnan Picking Period: March 13-18, 2025
