Sister Ai’s Everyday Shou Pu’er (2017)

Sister Ai’s Everyday Shou Pu’er (2017)What is Shou (Cooked) Pu'er? Pu'er is the wine of teas, meticulously picked and aged with each tea mountain having its own personality. True Pu'er is only grown in Yunnan, China, right on the border of Myanmar in the heart of Southeast Asia. It is drunk throughout Asia for its fantastic flavor and health properties. Shou, or "cooked" pu'er has been put through a process that involves piling the leaves and turning the pile repeatedly to rapidly increase oxidation and fermentation. The resulting tea is dark, complex, and known to calm the stomach and aid digestion. THE TEA Each box contains: 1 50g tea cake (7-10 sessions’ worth of tea, ~2 oz)  Sister Ai’s cooked pu’ers are excellently balanced, with clean, earthy, dark flavors, and unmolested by fishy smells which can be a result of poor post-fermentation. This shou is a good middle-of-the-road shou - a true “everyday” cooked pu’er. It’s not as rich as Duidui’s 2010 Reserve, and not as funky as Yun
