After the early morning stint with a young sheng I have now moved to the opposite extreme. I am now sipping a 1999 sheng that is trying to be shou. It is a half fermented raw pu’er with around 17 years of age: 1999 Hua Yuan “Jing Brand” raw pu’er from Yunnan Sourcing. A very clean and pleasant tea that was very well stored with the only light wet piling aspect coming through from the wet leaves and not transpiring to the liquor. Next week I am buying a cake for further storage.

2.9gms 100 degrees C 55ml pot

Hi Kirk. I must look for it as I cannot recall it offhand. There are so many teas going through my mind at the moment… How long ago was it?

In March 2013 we were in HK when I first tried a pu’er tea. I still recall being a 19 year old Imperial loose leaf tea, after that it was uphill from there.

Mostly I drink sheng rather than shou because of the fear of the creation of kidney stones but once a month I spoil myself with a shou session.
