Shattered Wood 2016 Xishuangbanna Ripe Pu’er

Crafted in 2016 from Yunnan large-leaf tea, this is our entry-level ripe Pu’er tea, showcasing the “perfect” level of fermentation. If you’re new to Pu’er ripe teas, we believe this is one of the best options to start your journey. It embodies all the essential characteristics of Puer ripe tea without any single aspect overpowering the others. The result is a beautifully balanced blend, delivering a smooth and oily texture.

When brewed, the tea produces small, star-shaped fragments that offer a gentle aroma of wood and Chinese dates. The first few sips reveal a remarkably smooth broth that glides effortlessly down your throat, with minimal astringency or bitterness. Instead, you’ll experience a delightful sweetness and warmth.

As you continue brewing, the oily texture softens slightly, revealing a fresher and sweeter profile. Even after drinking, you’ll enjoy a lingering taste of mild Chinese dates in your mouth and nose, creating a lasting flavor experience.

Best enjoyed after dinner, this tea is highly recommended for everyone.
