2017 "Storm Breaker" Shou / Ripe Puerh from Crimson Lotus Tea

$ 11.99

This is an incredible example of very high quality shou made by true craftsmen. This is from a small batch wodui composed entirely of old tree material from the Menghai area. This tea pushes the envelope for what a shou puerh experience can be. There is a depth of experience possible in this tea that will at once confuse and excite you. This is a special tea.

This material finished the wodui process in the Spring of 2017. It was pressed in late Summer of 2017. This tea presents a very dense cup. It can be a little overwhelming when brewed with a heavy hand. We suggest washing this tea 2-4 times. 

Albert Bierstadt was an American landscape painter. This cake features a painting he made in 1870 detailing the Pacific Northwest coastline near our home in Seattle. The painting is called "Puget Sound on the Pacific Coast".
