2014 Single Sprout He-kai Autumn, Shujian Tea Co.
$10.00
Shujian Tea is a top-tier purveyor of puerh tea located in Kunming, the provincial capital of Yunnan. Their Dragon Pearl series is of superior quality from select ancient trees. They call this series Xiao Yao Dan, referencing the first chapter from the eponymously named classic attributed to the legendary Daoist philosopher Zhuang Zi. Xiao Yao evokes a sense of freedom, a release from the constraints of life.
Hekai is located within the Bulang Mt range. This hand-rolled treasure is complex, presenting with a gentle flavour initially before stepping forth with the bold bitterness typical of Hekai. Yields at least 15 infusions. Deeper into the journey, the bitterness blends with a vegetal sweetness that is topped with a superior huigan that is long and floral. Consistent with ancient leaf material, there is very little astringency. A remarkable experience.
