The Tè Puer Shu (Cotto) Mini Cakes Ancient Mellow is harvested from ancient trees traditionally destined for Puer tea production for hundreds of years. The tea from ancient trees is complex and enriches over time with various shades of flavors and aromas: its liquor is full-bodied, soft, and enveloping. Each mini-cake represents the perfect quantity for your infusion. This tea comes from Mount Bulang, located in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Each package contains seven mini cakes of 7 grams each. The Tè Puer Shu (Cotto) Mini Cakes Ancient Mellow appears as a small disc about 5 cm in diameter and half a cm thick, made up of rather tightly pressed leaves. The leaves are whole, medium-large, with beautiful colors reminiscent of earth and forest: deep brown, chestnut with rusty highlights, buds between gold and copper. Once infused, the mini cake releases complex and sweet aromas, with notes of fennel, wood, damp earth, understory, and a vaguely spicy and medicinal scent, which could be associated with an ancient pharmacy. The liquor is dark orange with amber highlights at the first infusion, then gradually darkens with successive infusions until it takes on a very dark brown hue with coffee-like reflections, impenetrable to light. The first infusion of Tè Puer Shu (Cotto) Mini Cakes Ancient Mellow already fully reveals its incredibly soft and sweet character, with notes of understory and a slight hint of leather and wild fennel. With the second infusion, a peaty and vanilla note emerges, similar to that of some whiskey or bourbon. With the third infusion and the following ones, the body becomes denser and more enveloping: a balsamic note appears accompanied by scents of bark and a finish that has notes of ancient wood and dark chocolate. The persistence is long, with notes of understory lingering on the palate for a long time. The body is soft as velvet; there is no bitterness or astringency. It is an extremely complex and wonderfully enveloping tea that warms the stomach and heart. The tea comes from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. We recommend infusing this mini cake using the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a gaiwan or small teapot with a capacity of about 200 ml. Following this preparation, with 7 grams of leaves, multiple infusions can be made to best enjoy all the flavors. After a quick rinse of the leaves with water at a temperature of 95°C, a first infusion of 20 seconds can be made, and while maintaining the water at the same temperature, the same leaves can continue to be used by adding more water and increasing the previous infusion time by about 5 seconds (20 - 25 - 30…). For a better tasting experience, we suggest filtering the infusion as soon as the established steeping time is completed. The infusion timings can also be slightly modified at will to achieve a more or less intense flavor. It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
