Produced and packaged exclusively for Art of Tea, this high-grade pu-erh comes in a vibrant wrapper featuring a majestic tiger stealthily prowling through lush greenery.
Aroma
Woody and spicy with a subtle smoky-tar nuance.
Flavor
Soft, accessible, and velvety, with a pronounced woody-nutty profile and a touch of sweetness. Hints of camphor, berry-citrus notes, and a gentle chocolate bitterness add complexity.
Effect
Mildly invigorating, focusing, and centering.
Production
- 2021: Harvest and fermentation in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna.
- Aged: Two years.

Though relatively young, this tea will develop greater depth and balance in both flavor and aroma over time. It is delightful to enjoy now or to store for aging, observing its transformation.

Brewing Recommendations
We recommend the infusion method:
- Use 1 gram of tea per 20 ml of water.
- Brew with freshly boiled water and thoroughly preheat your teaware.
- First steep: 10 seconds; increase by 5 seconds with each subsequent steep.
This pu-erh also performs exceptionally well when simmered over heat or brewed in a thermos.
