2002 Aged Raw Puerh from 1,000 Year Old Ancient Tea Tree

Description

This premium Raw Puerh tea originates from Yunnan’s ancient tea trees. At over 1,000 years old, they are among the region’s oldest tea trees.

These mineral-rich trees produce tea with potent Qi. Our tea master carefully selects the leaves to deliver a Puerh flavor that’s smooth and slightly sweet, with a gentle, warming Qi. The aging process removes many of the bitter flavors common in young teas, leaving sweet, fruity, and warming flavors.

Available in 25-gram loose leaf portions or as a full 357-gram cake, our 2002 Aged Raw Puerh is perfect for tea enthusiasts seeking a timeless brew with rich history and authentic flavor.

Older tea trees develop strong root systems. They dig deep into the ground and build a complex system that draws more nutrients from the soil.

These nutrients feed the tree and encourage growth. But they also leave a higher concentration of minerals in the leaves. The aging process mutes some of the stronger mineral notes, but imparts a delicate minerality that further enhances the complex flavor profile.

The raw fermentation process also contributes greatly to the flavor. It’s a slow and natural aging process controlled by skilled tea masters.
