Taste the Terroir Difference

Two very different Sheng PuErh tea cakes

The 'Terroir', and why it matters:

Meet 'Tub Highness' and 'Paradise Snapper', and see for yourself the difference terroir makes.

Two tea cakes made less than 200km apart from each other - and a great example of how the intricacies of terroir shape the taste of true tea.

A heady and complex Yiwu Sheng.

We have managed to get a really incredible deal with this tea after many years of building relationships with the PuErh producers. Still very expensive but still worth every cent or penny.

Strawberry candy, sweet musk floral face cream, poached pears, medicinal honey and hawthorn fruits.

Paradise Snapper

He Kai & Jing Mai Sheng Gushu Spring 2020

Bright, zesty, crisp and quenching with plenty of physical bite and a deep Hui Gan sweetness. A wild and untamed tea with potent effects

Zesty and mineral with baked apples, grenadine syrup and mandarin peel.
