2022 Bingdao Nuowu Ancient Tree Raw Pu-erh Tea - 200g Cake | Premium Spring Harvest Sheng Puerh

Product Description

This 2022 Nuowu raw Pu-erh represents the pinnacle of Bingdao tea craftsmanship. Harvested from ancient tea trees during the prized spring season, each leaf is carefully hand-rolled using time-honored techniques that have been passed down through generations.

Tasting Experience: The moment hot water meets the leaves, an enchanting bouquet of honeyed florals rises from the cup. The liquor enters the mouth with exceptional smoothness—virtually no bitterness or astringency—replaced instead by a gentle, enveloping sweetness. Throughout each infusion, a delicate water-carried fragrance weaves through the experience, while subtle notes of rock sugar linger on the finish, persisting beautifully even in the final steeps.

Origin & Terroir: Nuowu village sits within the legendary Bingdao tea region of Yunnan, where high altitude, mineral-rich soil, and misty mountain air create ideal conditions for ancient tea trees to thrive. These trees, some over 200 years old, produce leaves with concentrated flavor and remarkable depth.

Aging Potential: As a raw (sheng) Pu-erh, this tea will continue to evolve gracefully over the years. Store in a cool, dry place away from strong odors, and watch as the flavors deepen and mellow with time.
