    Kill me Don, but I like this best with some full milk added, which produces a thick, creamy, choco-malty tea that is perfect at any time of day.

Fruity and creamy Ripe PuErh form 150-200 year old tea trees growing around Ban Pen village in Bulang. This is one of our daily drivers and the nugs are immortal - giving more than 20 infusions!

Lao Cha Tou are the prized nuggets that naturally form during the ripening (fermenting) process to make Shou PuErh. The nugs are supposedly formed from extra mycelium and ultra juicy leaves sticking the tea together. They produce a very smooth liquor and seem to go on infusing forever.

These nugs are a worthy successor of the original Nug Berry - one of our most popular teas in recent years. It is richer in creamy notes and has an extra hit of Cha Qi while still showcasing those cherry jam fruit highlights.

Nug Berry is such a fruity and creamy, easy drinking ripe tea that I would recommend it to everyone from seasoned Shou lovers to those dipping their toes into the world of ripe tea.
