Nannou Handmade Shou Puerh

Mr. Li is a second-generation tea producer whose father was a famous Yunnan teamaster. In addition to working in the family fields, Mr. Li spent many years in the famous Menghai Dayi puerh tea factory, where the development of the “wo dui” fermentation process took place. This process for shou puerh approximates the much slower aging process of sheng puerh, creating a drinkable tea much more quickly. Mr. Li took all this experience back to his family’s land to make his own tea. The family land contains tea trees of varying ages from which he harvests the leaf material. He has perfected a small batch version of fermentation process for this delightful handmade tea. The process is painstaking, requiring all of his expertise and attention to monitor the fermentation process and ensure that it doesn’t go too far.
