Description

Golden Leaf Cooked Pu-erh Tea (Shou Pu-erh) is a refined grade of ripe Pu-erh from Yunnan Province, China, distinguished by its generous share of golden tea buds mixed among the dark, fermented leaves. These golden tips lend the tea an extra layer of natural sweetness alongside pu-erh's classic earthy depth.

Made using the traditional wo dui fermentation process and fully post-fermented, this tea is smooth and mellow right out of the bag — no waiting required. The cup pours a deep amber-red with notes of dried date, caramel, and toasted wood, finishing silky and comforting with virtually no bitterness.
