A Pure, High-Elevation Expression of Ancient-Tree Sheng
Crafted exclusively from beautiful first-flush spring buds, this 2025 Sheng Pu’er comes from Bai Hua Shu, a pristine village tucked within a protected natural reserve in Lincang. The material comes from trees estimated around 200 years old, giving each silver, downy bud the remarkable combination of old-tree depth and lively spring energy.
Compressed into a convenient 100g brick, this tea offers both immediate enjoyment and excellent aging potential—an elegant way to experience one of the most uplifting terroirs of Lincang.

Tasting Experience
Placing the dry buds in a hot gaiwan releases a sweet, fresh pine-forest fragrance—bright wood, moss, and the clean coolness of mountain air.
When infused, the aroma deepens into honeyed sweetness without losing that invigorating pinecone freshness.
The liquor is smooth, thick, and gently complex, layering old-tree richness with the clarity of early spring picking. The first infusions carry notes of:
• Pine freshness & soft moss
• Delicate pineapple and physalis
• Grapefruit peel–like citrus
As the session progresses, the tea becomes increasingly fruity and luminous, developing a character reminiscent of a refined high-mountain white tea, but with the stamina and energy unique to Sheng Pu’er.

Character & Finish
Energetic, refreshing, and deeply uplifting, this is a tea that brightens the mind while remaining grounding and smooth. Its purity of material, high elevation, and bud-only picking make it ideal for both current drinking and long-term aging, where the honey tones and fruity complexity will continue to deepen.
