Buy Shou Pu-Erh: Discover this smooth, matured tea at Arteamony
Welcome to the world of Shou Pu-Erh at Arteamony! Shou Pu-Erh is a special type of the famous Pu-Erh tea from China. If you are looking for a smooth, earthy tea that is ready to drink, then Shou Pu-Erh is just right for you. It is often referred to as “mature” or ‘cooked’ Pu-Erh. Its uniqueness lies in a special manufacturing process. After harvesting, this tea undergoes accelerated fermentation. This process, also known as “Wo Dui,” was developed in the 1970s. It makes Shou Pu-Erh wonderfully smooth and dark right from the start.
Unlike the slowly maturing Sheng Pu-Erh, the matured Shou Pu-Erh is ready to drink immediately. It does not need to be stored for years to develop its full character. At Arteamony, you can buy high-quality Shou Pu-Erh and discover this special type of tea conveniently online. Our shop offers you a selection of authentic Shou Pu-Erh tea directly from its region of origin, Yunnan in China. We pay strict attention to quality so that you can enjoy a pure and pleasant taste.
The taste of Shou Pu-Erh: earthy, smooth, and full-bodied
Shou Pu-Erh differs significantly in taste from its raw counterpart, Sheng. Its aroma is the result of accelerated fermentation, which gives it a unique character. If you want to know what to expect in terms of taste, think of deep, warm, and soothing notes. It is known for its accessible and pleasant profile.
What makes up the typical taste of Shou Pu-Erh?
- Earthy notes: The most distinctive feature is often an earthy aroma. It is reminiscent of damp forest soil, old wood, or sometimes even mushrooms. This note is clean and gives the tea depth.
- Gentle sweetness: The earthiness is often complemented by a pleasant, natural sweetness. This can be reminiscent of dates, dark chocolate, caramel, or nuts.
- Softness and fullness: Unlike young Sheng Pu-Erh, Shou has little bitterness or astringency. It feels very soft, round, and full-bodied in the mouth.
- Dark character: The color of the infusion is deep dark red to almost black, which is also reflected in the taste—it is rich and satisfying.
This gentle and accessible flavor makes Shou Pu-Erh an excellent choice for anyone new to the world of Pu-Erh tea. It offers a deep aroma without the sometimes challenging notes of a young Sheng. Of course, quality is crucial for good flavor. A high-quality Shou Pu-Erh is always clean, clear, and pleasant in aroma.
