2019 “A Chance Encounter” Raw Pu-erh Tea

Product Introduction

This Pu’er tea is crafted from the first spring leaves harvested in 2019 from Shuangjiang County, Lincang, Yunnan—the very heartland of authentic Pu’er. Made using traditional pan-frying techniques, the tea preserves the purest essence of the fresh leaves. It delivers a delicate aroma and naturally sweet taste, with subtle hints of bitterness that vanish on the palate, leaving a long, smooth aftertaste. The soft, lingering sweetness and rich layers of flavor bring a harmonious experience from sip to soul, capturing the vitality and freshness of the forest in every cup. Its robust, green leaves with clear veins make it highly durable for multiple infusions, offering a rewarding tea experience every time.
