Song Pin Pu-erh Tea Leaves - Vintage Pu-erh Teas
A true antique, Song Pin Pu-erh is over a century old! This amazing tea is renown for its sensual and tangible attributes of being a superior Pu-erh. It is also said to raise the chi from within the body. The taste is smooth and complex; the brew smoothes down your taste buds and excites your senses like a gem hidden in a cavern for ages just waiting to be known.
Due to the age and rarity of the tea, we are offering these antique leaves in precious ten ounce packets, loose leaf samples from the original cakes.
Pu-erh teas are aged before they are consumed, unlike other teas which are meant to be consumed shortly after production. Pu-erh teas are at least 1-4 years old, but can also be aged for more than 50 years! Over this time, Pu-erh teas ferment, which leads to their earthy flavor, as opposed to the flavor of oolong or black teas, which comes from oxidation. Pu-erh teas are unique among tea varieties because they do not lose qualities after a year or two, but rather gain in value, and are classified by connoisseurs by year of production.
