Part of Wang Yanxin’s guest curator pu’er collection, an opportunity to try unique pu’ers from growing regions and workshops across Yunnan. 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.

    Wang Yanxin has been working with small producer Wan Yuan Workshop for years. She loves the unexpected complexity of their teas and the fact that they aren’t one of the over-represented brands out there. As a smaller producer, they are able to put out much higher quality work and deliver that value in tea, not marketing budget. This old tree shu pu’er harvest has a deep, aged quality with notes of ginger, molasses, white chocolate, vanilla and cedar with a velvety texture.

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.'
