林老師傳統工藝 十九年陳年普洱 散茶

Crafted in 2004 in Yunnan using the ancient Pu'er way. In a departure from the common industrialised processing, our Pu’er does not rely on man-made humidity and temperature (or “wo-dui” 渥堆) in a controlled warehouse but follows nature's course throughout the entire process of making and ageing, never compressing it into a cake.

The mouth-feel of Master's Black is refreshing, crisp and clean as opposed to the dark, dampened and grassy tones that most modern Pu'Er portrays. It is quietly energising, and it won't make you feel "tea drunk" or cause digestive issues or belly pain.

Experience smokey alpine woods on the nose, sweet apple on the tongue, cherry blossom in the throat and a sense of lightness and flow in your body and mind. A tea for you to take time, great for focus-related activities such as meditation or writing.

What's so special about this tea?

Why our Puerh is different?

The traditional understanding of Pu'er doesn't categorise it into Sheng 生 (Raw) and Shu 熟 (cooked), instead, from the moment the leaves were picked and made into tea we follow it as a living process where it continues to evolve and transform according to its native ecosystem without artificial heat and humidity, and such is the meaning of ageing. (You can store all of our tea for years to come and they will continue to transform.)

    Yes!

    To my humble understanding shou Puerh became "aged" by human hands speeding up the process by wet piling the leaves beginning in the 1970's. These teas as per the description are naturally aged..hence you will get a different cup of tea that is quite different than cake teas. I love the ancient age of these trees and the smokey slightly tart quality of these teas. I would say this is more of a sheng puerh which the description says wasn't a traditional classification for teas. In short, after a sample I got more to enjoy!!

    Earthy like a walk through the woods on a crisp, sunny morning - full of light, nutty fragrances: acorns, orange peel. Then comforting and rounded like a dusk walk into a warmly lit home - comforting, centring. Multiple infusions, it really keeps on going!

    Treat yourself and others to this exceptional Puer!!!

    The Master's Black (18 years Loose Pu'er) is a one of a kind Puer experience to be celebrated. An earth smoke vibrancy lives within this tea, a high grade connection to a beginning and end. I recommend being with this tea when you have the time to sit and cherish the moment without distraction, alone or with those closest to you, yes please :)!!!

    A Unique And Stellar Tea

    I love exploring puerh because of its vast variability and distinct flavor range. This puerh is one of the most balanced that I have had the pleasure of engaging with. Unlike some sheng/raw puerhs that convey heavier flavor notes given time to age, this puerh has managed to gain depth of flavor without compromising sweetness amidst balanced earthiness. Additionally, this tea evokes bodily sensations of immense relaxation and calm. It is a unique and delicious tea that remains one of my favorite go-to comfort teas.
