Shu Pu'er 2020 "Friendship" from Tea Line: A Warm Hug in Every Cup
The 2020 Shu Pu'er "Friendship" from the Tea Line brand is more than just tea; it's an invitation to a world of harmony and comfort. Crafted from high-quality tea leaves harvested on the renowned Jingmai tea plantations, this pu'er has a soft, balanced flavor and a rich aroma that warms the soul and uplifts the spirit.
Origin and production
This tea is made from high-quality raw materials harvested in 2018 from young tea trees in the Jingmai Mountains (景迈, jǐngmài) in Yunnan Province. This region grows some of the finest tea leaves for shu pu'er. The freshly picked leaves underwent traditional heap fermentation and were pressed into square cakes (fan cha) in 2020. This production method gives the tea its characteristic rich flavor and aroma.
Taste and aroma
Aroma: When dry, it's subtle, slightly sweet and woody. After brewing, a palette of aromas unfolds: woody trails, moss, a light mushroom note, dried bark, sun-baked limestone, and acorn.
Taste: Soft, rich, creamy-woody, caramel-chocolate.
Finish: Long, milky and creamy with notes of biscuit and toffee.
Colour of the infusion: Red-brown, slightly cloudy due to the villi from the tea buds.

The brewed tea has a very soft, rich, creamy, woody, and caramel-chocolate flavor. The pleasant oiliness and thickness of the red-brown infusion are noticeable, slightly cloudy due to the tea bud hairs present in abundance in the tea leaves.

Over time, some consumers who are part of the country's "tea elite" discover mainland Chinese tea. And only a few get acquainted with Taiwanese varieties. The path of a tea person is usually long and thorny, but ultimately it leads to the King of Teas - puer. But not everyone is able to go all the way from ordinary teas to puer and appreciate its qualities.
The tea ceremony occupies a special place in the centuries-old Eastern tradition. And although the essence of this phenomenon remains constant, the nature and external manifestations of the tea ceremony in different nations have their own national characteristics. In each Chinese province, the tea ceremony and the tea used in it are varied: for example, residents of the southern provinces prefer green tea, and residents of the northern provinces - red tea, in Fujian province they more often use Oolong tea, and in Yunnan province Puer tea is widely known.
