Each serving of Organic Sheng (raw) Puer Tea Wu Liang Origin is 4g, the perfect amount for a single infusion. The darker leaves pressed into this small brick are illuminated by the buds covered with golden fluff. The tea is sweet, with a delicate aroma that immediately brings to mind a walk through a fir forest. This organic tea comes from Zhengwan village in the famous autonomous province of Puer.
Tasting – Sight and smell
The small squares of Organic Sheng (raw) Puer Tea Wu Liang Origin consist of compressed leaves with variegated colors ranging from dark green, forest green and army green to light brown and khaki, with a high presence of golden buds. Once infused, the leaves give off aromas of pear nectar, incense, resin, green wood and a very slight hint of leather. In the cup, the liquor is a deep golden yellow.
Tasting Notes
GONG FU CHA
The first infusion of Organic Sheng (raw) Puer Tea Wu Liang Origin gives a liquor that is delicate yet has an already well-defined organoleptic profile: notes of beeswax and unripe pear, then resin and finally a woody hint of bark. With the second brew, the fruitiness of the pear becomes more intense, while a vaguely herbaceous vegetal note and a very slight astringency appear. There are balsamic notes of pine needles that give the tea a very pleasant freshness, followed by a hint of incense. With the third and subsequent infusions we again find barky wood notes in the opening, over a fruity pear base that remains present, and a long balsamic and fresh persistence that recalls the scents of a coniferous forest.
WESTERN
This Organic Sheng (raw) Puer Tea Wu Liang Origin has a sweet pear flavor and hints of pine resin in the opening, which is followed by fresh herbal hints of artichoke. Secondly, a balsamic note of eucalyptus and a hint of incense reach the palate, along with a spicy hint of cardamom. On the finish, there is an unexpected floral note, while the persistence remains fresh and sweetly fruity. The body is silky and smooth, with just a slight astringency. By sniffing the cup bottom, you will be able to catch the scent of incense and beeswax.
Place of origin

How to prepare
We strongly recommend infusing Organic Sheng (raw) Puer Tea Wu Liang Origin in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to best enjoy these leaves. Following this preparation, one square can be placed in a gaiwan of about 100 ml to obtain multiple infusions with different flavors. After a short preliminary rinse at 100°C to begin to separate the leaves well from their compressed form, an initial 10-second infusion can be made, and after that, keeping the water at the same temperature, the time can be increased each time by 5 seconds from the previous infusion (10 – 15 – 20…).
This tea has a longevity of about 7 brewings.
For a classic preparation according to the Western style, we recommend a square in a 200-mL cup with water at 100°C for a two-minute infusion time. It would still be preferable to do a prior rinse of about 15 seconds to make the most of the leaf flavors.
The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the moment of tasting, and also the infusion times indicated above are intended to be purely indicative, so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
