2022 Slake

In 2022 we pressed a series of small batch shou Puer blends that incorporated experimental lighter ferment styles of shou Puer with the intent to age them before release. These teas are now being released in 2026 after ~4 year of aging in our Guangzhou storage. They are still developing, but drinkable straight away. This will not be a traditional shou Puer experience, as they incorporate more character, nuance and raw Puer characteristic than most shou Puer. 

2022 Slake has a sticky rice soup broth feel with aromas that waft like steam through linens. There is a soft bitterness that fades into a sweet afterglow. The smoothness of the shou balances the more raw aspects nicely for a daily companion that boasts both smoothness and strength.

Each cake is 200 grams of tea. Pressed in 2022, Released in 2026.
