Shu Puer "Wine from Trees" (Mu Ye Chun Gong Ting), Mengku, 2016, 400 g.

Dry and tightly pressed pancake. Under the cover you can find quite small raw materials, buds and leaves.

When dry, it smells so good that you would never guess what it actually is. But if you warm it up in a dish, you will immediately feel a sweet and slightly tart aroma, reminiscent of fennel, fresh and thick at the same time, a cherry-prune base of the aroma.

Because of the dense pressing, it must either be divided into smaller pieces in advance or brewed longer.

The infusion is red-brown. The taste is woody at first, and then spreads into a dense sweet fruit layer. The aftertaste leaves a feeling of sweet spices with a slight chill.

A noble shu, tasty and vigorous.
