Doi Wawee 2013 Shou Puerh Old Trees - Thailand
Doi Wawee, located in the mountainous region of Chiang Rai, offers a limited batch of their 2013 Shou Puerh Old Trees - Thailand. The area is renowned for its ancient tea plantations, with some trees dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries, and is considered a "village of tea" by tea lovers. This unblended tea is made from old trees and features a unique pluck of 1 bud and 2 leaves, unlike teas that are sorted after production. These distinctive qualities contribute to its exceptional flavour profile. The deep infusion has a balanced and prominent structure. Hints of subtle sweetness, reminiscent of rock candy, enhance the earthy tones of this tea. The finish leaves a lasting impression with a pleasant mineral texture.

Sheng vs Shou
Sheng 生 Puerh 普洱 is the original style of Puerh production, literally meaning Raw or Alive also referred to as unripe. Sheng Puerh, production allows aging to happen naturally to pressed cakes typically 10-15 years+, where Shou 熟 (lit. ‘cooked’ also known as ‘ripe’) puerh speeds the process by intentional fermentation or “rippening” of the tea leaves, like in aging cheese.
