Bada Mountain 2015 Zhi Chun Feng Workshop Shu Pu'er
Bada Mountain 2015 Zhi Chun Feng Workshop Shu Pu'er
Deep, malty, crisp Shu Pu’er
Zhi Chun Feng Workshop’s classic buddy shu pu’er, aged over seven years for notes of cinnamon, barley, vanilla and elderberry.
2015 ♦ Pu'er, Yunnan Province
Crafted by Zhi Chun Feng Workshop
Small farmers and micro-workshops across Yunnan are often denied the chance to show off their incredible work, overshadowed by big labels. Wang Yanxin believes in small producers, helping them reach a wide audience without big brand labels.
The result is pristine, hand-finished tea, aged offerings and regional collaborations that inspire new styles. Wang Yanxin has devoted her career and formidable palate to these collaborations, searching far and wide for the very best.

This refreshingly crisp Shu Pu'er from the smaller Zhi Chun Feng Workshop was picked in 2015 and pressed in 2019. The beautiful mix of golden downy buds and deep dark tender leaves makes for a perfect balance of deep fruity undertones, foresty sweet spice, and savory biscuit bread qualities. The aftertaste has a slightly cooling quality that is sure to get deeper with age.

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.'
