Organic Shou Pu-erh "Wärme", 2022, Nannuo Shan – 10 g Try Size

10 g try size · Vintage 2022 · Nannuo Shan, Menghai, Yunnan · Organic Shou Pu-erh · approx. 70 % fermented

The same tea as our 100 g "Wärme" cake, in a 10 g piece: enough for two full sessions before you decide on the whole cake. In China, tea is one of the seven things no household starts the day without: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea. A good Shou is exactly that kind of tea, one that is simply there every day. "Good" in Shou comes down to three things: clean raw material, clean fermentation, a clean place. This one has all three, and it starts on Nannuo Shan, the Hani tea mountain above Menghai, where tea has been grown for more than a thousand years.

The leaves come from an organic garden on Nannuo Shan at around 1,200 meters, more than 150 fog days a year, deep soil rich in organic matter. Fermentation happens in our own Shou plant in the pollution-free Hexing Ecological Tea Garden in Menghai, only once a year, in the depth of winter. The 2022 vintage was fermented mildly, to around 70 percent: that leaves the tea more sweetness and life than fully fermented Shous and lets the honeyed Nannuo character shine through.

The liquor is red and clear, the taste pure and smooth, with the ripe, earthy-sweet fragrance the Chinese call Chen Xiang. Certified organic, pesticide-free, lab-tested, with videos from garden and fermentation. For Shou beginners and coffee switchers who want to taste before they commit.

Preparation

Rinse for 5 seconds before steeping. 4 g in 300 ml water at 95–100 °C, steep for 2 minutes. Suitable for multiple infusions; extend each further infusion by 30–60 seconds. These are our recommendations; Shou fits any time of day.

Packaging & storage

10 g piece of the compressed 100 g cake, sealed in a three-layer, food-safe, EU-compliant aroma-protective pouch. Enough for two sessions at 4 g, with a little left over. Keep the tea in this original pouch, closed, dry and away from strong smells: that way the aroma stays and the Pu-erh keeps well. Ready to drink now; stored like this, Shou keeps maturing. Liked it? The full cake is your month of Pu-erh.
