A 2019 mid-aged of careful aging reveal a warm, reddish-amber Sheng Pu-erh with rich aroma, mellow sweetness, and exceptional aging potential—perfect for both immediate enjoyment and future aging.

A rare mid-aged Sheng Pu-erh from Lincang, balancing smooth sweetness, warm tea body, and evolving aroma—ideal for both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.

Crafted in 2019 from premium Lincang big-leaf varietal leaves, this Sheng Pu-erh has spent 6 years maturing, transitioning from its original brisk yellow-green liquor to a warm reddish-amber color with softening astringency. The leaves, dense and glossy with visible silver tips, release a complex aroma of floral honey, subtle dried fruit, and gentle herbal notes.

Lincang’s mid-aged Sheng Pu-erh offers a unique balance: the brisk freshness of young leaves evolves into mellow, slightly sweet, and smooth flavors. Experienced tea lovers will appreciate the tea’s aging potential, while newcomers can enjoy its rich, approachable liquor right now.

This tea is highly resilient to repeated infusions, revealing nuanced flavors over ten or more brews, with a warming tea body that lingers pleasantly.

This 2019 Lincang Ancient Arbor Sheng Pu-erh Tea Cake shares its name and origin with a corresponding Ripe (Shu) Pu-erh in the same series. Both teas are crafted from the same premium Lincang big-leaf varietal leaves and processed using traditional methods, yet they offer distinct experiences: the Sheng (Raw) Pu-erh highlights vibrant yellow-green liquor, brisk yet evolving flavors, and strong aging potential, while the Shu (Ripe) Pu-erh delivers mellow, earthy sweetness and a rich, smooth body suitable for immediate enjoyment.
