Imperial Shu Puerh (2019)

Tea Type

A ripe pu-erh from 2019 with a rich, smooth character. Imperial Shu offers the depth of fermented tea in a delicate loose-leaf form.

Origin & Specifics

Imperial Shu is Gongting-style shu pu-erh from Menghai County in Yunnan, China. Its small, curled, reddish-brown tips produce a deep chestnut infusion with a warm, nutty aroma.

Brewing Method

Use 95°C water.

For gongfu brewing, use 6–7 g per 100 ml in a gaiwan or small clay teapot. Begin with an infusion of around 10 seconds, followed by short steeps of 2–3 seconds. Gradually increase the time as the flavour softens.

Enjoy up to 8 infusions, adjusting to your taste.

Effect & Taste Profile

A full-bodied, mellow tea with notes of nuts, wood, bread and dates. Gentle dried-berry tartness balances its sweetness, while a subtle woody dryness leads into a velvety finish. A comforting choice for a quiet, warming tea ritual
