This vintage
Wu Liang Shan - Spring 2022
Hand-harvested from ancient tea trees deep in the woods. Incredibly round and soft in texture, a rarity for Pu Er. Watch a guided tasting.
We often taste mellow and sweet notes of dried fruits and cooked bamboo. A mellow sweetness can suggest juicy raisin alongside dried fruit and cooked bamboo.
The making
Wu Liang Shan is made of Qun Ti Da Ye Zhong (Heirloom Large Leaf) material. Pu Er making follows a typical green tea process; that's why it is academically classified as a sun-dry green tea. Pu Er picking is usually one bud with two or three leaves. After resting in the shade to lose some moisture, the leaves undergo Sha Qing in a large batch. Because the batch is large, the enzymes are not fully deactivated, which is what allows Pu Er to keep aging. During Zuo Xing, or shape making, the leaves are rolled into string shape before being spread under strong sun to dry. Aggressively intense sun is the most preferred in Pu Er making.
How to brew
History & significance
