2011 nian lao tongzhi shenshan lao shu cha sheng cha 500 ke
Whale. 2011 500 克
Pinyin 2011 Nián lǎo tóngzhì shēnshān lǎo shù chá shēng chá 500 kè
"Sheng Pu'er 2011 from Ancient Trees of the Wild Mountains"
This 2011 sheng pu'er from the Haiwan (海湾, hǎiwān, "Bay") brewery is produced according to the recipe of Mr. Zou Bingliang, a respected figure in the pu'er world, under the renowned brand name "Lao Tong Zhi" (老同志, lǎotóngzhì, "Old Comrade"). The raw materials are collected in the Shenshan (深山, Shēnshān) region of Yunnan (云南, yúnnán) province.
The aroma of aged sheng pu'er tea includes mushrooms, wood, ground coffee, coffee berries, and camphor. Additional nuances emerge, including cocoa, fruits and vegetables, autumn leaves, and fine tobacco. The flavor of Shenshan Lao Shu sheng pu'er tea combines notes of wet and dry texture, with woody, fruity notes and a slight fruitiness. When steeped tightly, it produces moderate viscosity and the bitterness of a good aged sheng.
These famous Haiwan teacakes feature a photo of tall, ancient tea trees on the cover. It is from these trees, growing in the wilds of the Yunnan Plateau, that the raw materials for this pu'er are collected and prepared under the personal supervision of master Zou Bing Liang.
The dry aroma is powerful and velvety, apple-tobacco, honey, and slightly fruity. After washing, it intensifies, adding pleasant spicy notes and hints of applesauce and agar. The complexity and power of the aroma permeates the entire room.
The taste of the brewed tea is soft and buttery, with nuances of spices, wild honey, ripe sea buckthorn and genuine Belevskaya apple pastila.
The aftertaste is bright, melodic with nuances of ripe dried apricots, fruits, spices and wild honey.
This pu-erh can be brewed in either a Yixing clay teapot or a gaiwan. However, a well-used Yixing clay teapot is best; it will fully reveal the pu-erh, rounding out and balancing its flavor. The recommended ratio of tea leaves to water is 5-6 grams per 100 ml. With even steeping, not over-steeping, this pu-erh exhibits excellent stability and a balanced flavor without bitterness or astringency. Spicy notes gradually intensify, adding a subtle tobacco note.
Tea creates a very powerful tea state; from the very first cup it intoxicates, creating a flush of heat, and leaving a noticeable sheen of sweat on the forehead. It relaxes well, induces a meditative state, and harmonizes. By the end of the tea session, it perfectly invigorates, spurring action, and enhancing the flow of qi.
The 2011 Sheng pu-erh "Shenshan Lao Shu" from the "Laotongzhi" (Old Comrade) brand of the Haiwan factory is an excellent factory-produced pu-erh made from wild tea trees over 300 years old. It makes a luxurious gift, a great option for storage, or for ceremonial tea drinking on special occasions.
