Lucky Rabbit (100 g)
Lucky Rabbit 2023 — an unusual shu pu-erh with an interesting "mix of vintages"
Lucky Rabbit 2023 is a mature pu-erh (shu), made from finer , finer leaves and gongting -grade raw material. What's great about it is that it's not a "flat, obvious" shu: it's a blend of teas from different years (younger and older) and with varying degrees of fermentation , giving it a more complex, unique character.
Taste and aroma
What will you feel in the infusion?
-
aroma: woody, earthy, slightly spicy
-
taste: distinct and spicy , but well-balanced; woody and nutty with a hint of pleasant, "tea-like" bitterness (resulting from the less fermented raw material)
Why is it worth it?
Shu, which has character
This is a suggestion for those who prefer their shu pu-erh to be livelier and more "spicy," rather than just soft and chocolatey. It also provides a gentle boost and energy , without feeling heavy.
Origin and production
Where does it come from?
The tea was pressed in 2023 (from raw material that is much older ) at Jing Hong Yule Shan factory (景洪攸乐山), Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China .
