Pu Erh Stories

Pu-Erh-of-the-Month-Title

 

The world of Puerh is full of mysteries and confusions. In this world, there is almost nothing can be explained within a few words. No books will be able to satisfy all your questions. Making your own experience is the only way. 

 

Starting from 2017, we cooperate with Puerh experts, who devote their lives in searching for the truth in this world of mystery. They are not just passionate Puerh lovers, but also producers, researchers, Puerh-hunters and teachers who generously and eagerly share their knowledge to other tea lovers. „Puerh Stories“ will be focusing on the origin, making, storage, and history of Puerh. Therefore, you are going to experience all kinds of Puerh, from harvest of the year to the old aged selection; from jungle to jungle; from varietal to varietal; from raw (sheng) to ripped (shu/shou); from storage to storage. There is certainly no limit in this world. 

 

Let’s explore the world of Puerhs together and make your own experience. Be adventurous and open… join us for a cup of Puerh.

Last month, we discovered an unusual shu cha together, of which the leaves were from Burma and were fermented in Menghai. Like all contemporary Shu Cha, this tea was fermented according to the industrial method called « Wo Due », which was developed in the state factory in the 1970s. 

The other methods of controlled fermentation of Pu Erh exist, such as Hong Kong refined storage. This style of refined storage is based on a much older, slow and artisanal approach of maturation, which has inspired the invention of Wo Due in the 70s. 

This month, for you we have selected a fine grade Pu Erh that was produced in the 1990s and is mainly composed of buds and very thin leaves. Hence, this will develop a very pure and particularly mineral character.

For the second part of our small exploration journey in 2017, this month we will be traveling to the famous Mount Manzhuang, east of Xishuangbanna. Within this area, are the "six great tea mountains", covering 100 x 60km from East to West - is the first documented Pu Erh producing area since the 18th century. Four of these six tea mountains locate in the small area of Xiangming, including Manzhuang. This month Pu Erhs are both coming from the same garden, including old tea trees belonging to the Deng family (one of the big families of Manzhuang village). These teas were perfectly mastered by Ms. Deng Xiao Mei in a traditional way from the first Spring harvest of 2015 and 2017 respectively with a contemporary touch. Hence prepare them separately and try to investigate the differences in the cup.

The goal of this month is to experience how taste developes within a short time in the case with Manzhuang Pu Erhs:
