    This beautiful buddy shu pu’er from under-the-radar Hexin workshop show off a deep complexity and elegant balance even with only several years of aging. Expect nuanced notes of chrysanthemum and vanilla with spicy undertones of nutmeg and ginseng. Bright juicy mandarin orange is grounded by a hint of salted shortbread. This limited release from Wang Yanxin’s personal cellar is a one time offering. Once these cakes are gone, we will not be able to bring them back in.

Wang Yanxin also recommends:

  • 'Most pu’er does become more complex over time. Astringency mellows out, darker and richer flavors come through. Textural complexities become more pronounced. Starting with an intriguing young pu’er of high quality with lots of textures and flavors at play will increase your chances of graceful aging.'
