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.
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.
