Bajiaoting Gushu Shucha – Velvety Old-Tree Ripe Pu-Erh from Menghai - 2019

Origin & Gushu Character
"Gushu" (古树) literally means "ancient tree" and refers to tea leaves from centuries-old wild tea trees in the highlands of Banzhang. These deep-rooted shrubs draw particularly mineral-rich nutrients, which gives the tea its characteristic earthiness and delicate sweetness.

Fermentation & Processing
After gentle sun-drying, the tea undergoes the traditional "Wo Dui" process (wet-stack fermentation) until it achieves its velvety, well-rounded flavor. It is then pressed into a stable 357g cake and is ready to drink immediately.

Characteristics:

• Weight: 357g per cake
• Origin: Organic tea garden in the Banzhang tea region, Bulang Mountain, Yunnan
• Processing: Traditional methods, combined with modern expertise, ensure perfection and the highest quality.
• Aroma & Taste: A rich, red and light tea broth with a full, smooth, and silky flavor. The prominent golden tips and pure aroma give the tea a unique depth and complexity.
• Appearance: Clean cake surface with plump buds and intact stripes that showcase the full flavor of the early spring tea.

Ready to drink & versatile
Unlike the Sheng Pu-erh, this Shu Pu-erh can be enjoyed straight away. It is perfect for anyone looking for a mild, approachable Pu-erh without sacrificing depth and complexity.

Storage & Maturation
Although it is already soft and rounded, Gushu Shucha will gain further richness and depth with cool, dry and light-protected storage.
