Marked with the lotus flower seal, a symbol of Vietnamese identity, this 2017 dark Sheng (raw) tea is produced by the Dzao ethnic group in Northern Vietnam within the Cao Bo cooperative. It is an imperial plucking (one leaf, 1 bud) from ancient tea bushes, processed by hand.
We find the light acidity typical of Sheng, a slight minerality, but already beautiful animal notes of leather and a beautiful patina. As the infusions progress, the notes evolve, with nutty flavors gradually emerging. Pleasantly long on the palate, it holds up well to multiple infusions. A very gentle, accessible introduction to Sheng teas.
Tips for use: simply break off a small part of the cake with a knife or Pu Erh pick to recover the leaves. Watch Arnaud Dhénin's video tutorials on Pu Erh tea on our YouTube channel and read all about this tea on his blog.
