Shen Puer Lao Shan Yun (Three Sages) 100 grams

A limited-batch sheng pu-erh crafted for those who appreciate a clean and authentic Yunnan profile. Harvested in 2020, this cake is pressed from mature leaves, young buds and stem fragments — resulting in a dense, full-bodied infusion. A natural energiser with a juicy, bright flavour and long-lasting finish.

Origin & Leaf Material

The cake is made from traditional raw pu-erh material: a combination of large leaves, tender buds and thin stems. This mix provides depth, complexity and consistent flavour across multiple steeps.

Flavour & Aroma

The taste opens with nutty tones followed by notes of dried plum, pear and stewed apple. A smooth balance of freshness and warmth develops with each infusion.

The dry leaf aroma offers meadow herbs and roasted nuts with a hint of smokiness; once warmed, it reveals honeyed and fruity nuances.

Effect & Experience

This sheng pu-erh delivers a focused yet gentle boost — ideal for productivity, creative work or mindful tea sessions. Uplifting without overstimulation.

How to Brew

• Teaware: gaiwan or teapot (100–150 ml).
• Leaf-to-water: 4–5 g per 100 ml.
• Water temperature: 85–90°C (185–195°F).
• Rinse: 2–3 seconds to awaken the leaves.
• Steeping: start at 10–15 s → gradually increase; 8–10 infusions or more.

Tip: avoid boiling-hot water to preserve sweetness and fruity clarity. For cold brew, use 6–7 g in 500 ml chilled water (8–10°C), steep for 6–8 hours.

Storage

Keep the cake wrapped in paper or cloth in a dry, ventilated space away from strong odours and direct sunlight. Do not seal airtight — sheng needs airflow to age gracefully.

Who Will Enjoy It

Perfect for those who seek clean natural energy, enjoy nutty-fruity sheng profiles and appreciate a lingering finish. A great entry into raw pu-erh — yet complex enough for daily drinkers.
