Ancient Snow Shan Sheng Pu Erh Tee 1+2 is an unripened “hei cha” from ancient tea trees in Vietnam’s northernmost province, Ha Giang. Only the young buds, each with two leaves attached to it, are picked for this tea – of course, by hand. Like all teas from our producer partner in Ha Giang, the processing of their pu erh teas is rooted in ancient local artisan traditions. This, along with a genuine passion for producing tea, leads to a level of picking and processing excellence that is about unprecedented in the industry.

A sipdown! (M: 3 Y: 61)
6 grams were remaining and wait for their time that has come today. Decided to gongfu them, using 95°C water. Steeps were short at first; around 10 seconds, quickly followed with longer, those were around 30-45 seconds each.
This sheng has a great flavour profile that I liked. It was like dried apricots most of the sessions; also it was very smooth. Sadly, on the other hand, mouthfeel wasn’t too long and it was “over” quickly. It lasted only 5 or 6 infusions and steeps after were just a thin, slightly astringent, cups.
On the other hand, considering it is a Vietnamese Pu Erh, so definitely not a terroir famous for compressed tea; it’s not bad and I would gladly accept a cup if offered. I will keep rating on 86, because maybe when it was fresher, it was tastier. On the other hand, I have also used different steeping method, so it is not really comparable.
