2024 Pu Yun Ripe Pu-erh Tea

"Pu Yun" ripe Pu'er tea originates from the secluded regions of southern Yunnan and is meticulously crafted from the tender buds and leaves (almost entirely bud heads) of ancient high-mountain trees. These leaves are stored and aged for 10 years before being pressed into tea cakes.

These trees have well-developed root systems enriched by a century of rain and dew, containing a wealth of substances. The leaves, high in amino acids and pectin, undergo 10 years of aging and fermentation with old tea leaves, resulting in a thick, full-bodied, and smoothly sweet taste. Over a 3,650-day aging process, tea polyphenols undergo oxidative polymerization reactions, transforming into theaflavins and thearubigins, which change the tea from bitter to sweet and mellow.
