Description

Details

This tea cake is made of tea leaves that harvest from the artificial ecosystem tea garden-cultivated tea bushes, from the cuttings of wild tea trees and planted in high altitudes tea garden.
The raw material of this tea was picked in early Spring time of 2013 and was made into this tea cake by 2015 after 2 years natural aging.
The previous storage already gives the tea leaves a decent time for being naturally fermented. So we only process a light fermentation to make this tea cake more close to naturally fermented raw pu-erh tea.
The raw material of this tea cake is a blending of 4th to 6th grade leaves. After the pile-fermentation, the silver buds turned into gold while the greenish dark leaves turned into a reddish brown color.
It has a clean, earthy aroma of the classic ripe pu-erh tea while slightly retains a bit refreshing raw pu-erh scent.
The tea liquor after a 10 secs brewing is in bright amber color. It tastes mildly sweet with a clear earthy note. The mouth-feel is very smooth and soft.
This is a highly recommend entry-level cooked pu-erh for new pu-erh tea drinkers.

*TIPS* Blending some herbal/flower (such as rose, osmanthus, peach flower, apple flower etc.) could enhance the primary taste. The fragrance of flowers is a perfect match with the earthy aroma of the ripe pu-erh tea.


About the Ripe/Cooked Pu-erh Tea



Ripe or cooked pu-erh (shu, shou pu'erh in Chinese), refers to an artificially aged version of pu-erh tea that a fermentation process called wòdūi (渥堆, "wet piling" in English) is developed prior to steam and compress the loose pu-erh tea leaves into pu-erh tea cakes, bricks or other shapes.
This piling process used to convert the raw pu-erh tea material into ripened pu-erh. This is a recent invention(developed in 1973 by the Government Operated Kunming Tea Factory) to imitate the flavor and color of aged raw pu-erh by prolonged bacterial and fungal fermentation in a warm humid environment.
The whole process normally takes 40 to 60 days, includes: piling, wetting, and mixing/turning of the piled raw tea leaves to ensure an even fermentation.
Unlike raw/uncooked pu-erh, which needs to be proper stored, aged and naturally fermented to get rid of the bitter and astringent mouthfeel. The ripe/cooked pu'erh could be consumed right away without further aging.
A well cooked pu-erh has a gentel nature, which could be easily steeped and gives a full-bodied, wine-coloured tea liquor, classic earthy pu-erh flavor and a mellow mouth-feel.
The other advantages of ripe/cooked pu-erh tea includes: minor irritation to stomach, zero-impact on sleep, low caffeine, while retains the cleansing, relaxing and calming effects.

Ripe pu-erh tea is a perfect bedtime slimming tea and a very good choice for pu-erh tea beginners.
