A small range of "Loose" Ripe/Shu puer (dark/fermented tea) and Hei Cha for those new to Puer or prefer not to buy or break into a whole cake.
1- "Special Loose & Ripe" 2014 - A great "Te Ji" grade puer produced in 2014 in the Menghai region and kept as a "loose tea" after fermentation, rather than pressing into cakes. Now over 7 years old, the funk has left and the tea mellowed, resulting in a thick and rich brew with hints of dark chocolate and fruit. (Limited stock remains..)
2- "Special Loose & Ripe" 2017 - Another fab "loose" Ripe Puer. This time we chose a higher "Gong Ting" grade puer (an "Imperial grade" small leaf) produced (in 2017) and stored in the Menghai region . The "Dui Wei" funk is gently mellowing, resulting in a thick and rich brew with an earthy fruitiness.
