Awaken your senses with this 2019 Ancient Arbor Sheng Pu-erh—bright, woody-honeyed, and brimming with aging promise for collectors and daily sippers alike.
A vibrant mid-aged raw Pu-erh with golden-honey liquor, rich woody depth, and extraordinary aging potential.
Crafted in the spring of 2019 from century-old arbor trees in Lincang, Yunnan, this tea honors Qilin, a Qing dynasty tea pioneer who expanded Fengqing’s historic tea gardens. Each compressed cake embodies both heritage and the untamed vitality of young Sheng Pu-erh.
Five years into its journey, this tea has already evolved from its early green astringency into a brilliant golden-honey liquor with crystal clarity. The cup opens with warm cedarwood and sandalwood aromas, layered by hints of wild alpine florals, ripe plum, dried apricot, and a touch of honeyed sweetness. Its thick, silky mouthfeel and lively chaqi bring warmth and energy to every sip.
Still in its youth as a mid-aged Sheng, this cake holds decades of transformation ahead: expect deeper resinous wood tones, darker amber liquor, and mellowed sweetness over the next 5–10 years. Whether you drink it now for its lively vibrancy or cellar it for future treasures, this tea promises a rewarding experience.
