Shou Pu-erh, 2000 from Red Blossom Tea Company

Shou Pu-erh, 2000

Pu-erh Tea by Red Blossom Tea Company

Acquired from a tea merchant in Hong Kong in 2002, our 2000 Shou Pu-erh is the most robust amongst our finished pu-erhs.

Rich and loamy, with a malty character that brings to mind barrel-aged bourbon, fresh earth, cocoa and chocolate.

I enjoy good earthy teas that aren’t harsh and this tea is definitely one of those. It was well said in Red Blossom’s description when they described it as “Fresh earth”. It was a fresh earth, malty, with slight hints of smooth chocolate.
The smell is pleasing and tastes even better. I am slightly biased when it comes to Shou Pu-erhs. Since they are one of my favorite teas. I recommend this tea to anyone who enjoys Pu-erh.

2nd note: The leaves have a woodsy aroma after being steeped. Delicious earthy taste. I’ve been able to get four to five really good steepings out it in a gaiwan.
