2024 Yiwu "Shousparilla" Shou / Ripe Puerh Tea - 200g Cake :: Seattle Inventory

This is a special shou. Yiwu shou puerh teas are in a class of their own already, but this one really hooked us from the first session. We could not help but noticing a specific and unique soda style effervescence that reminded us of sarsparilla or root beer. We've never had a tea like that before. 

This tea presents a forward herbal appearance. It is a very clean brewing shou with a delicate bitterness and a very sweet. smooth, and relaxing flavor. It's a very slippery and viscous tea. It doesn't brew super dark and dank. It has a reserved elegance. It has a very mellow energy.

This is a 200g cake of compressed shou puerh tea. It is a single origin offering that is unique and offers an incredible tea experience. It is are from a single garden and remains unblended and processed individually.
