Discover the unique appeal of Nannuoshan 2017 Puer Sheng (Raw) Tea, a precious selection hand-picked from the Wild Forest trees in the Nannuo Mountains. This tea, pressed in “cake” form, is ideal for those who wish to explore all the complex nuances of shengpu tea, without the astringency typical of a too-young puer.

A refined experience with every brew

Thanks to the natural fermentation process, the leaves release an extraordinary delicacy, revealing vibrant tangerine tones that emerge elegantly during subsequent infusions. With each sip, a sweet fragrance of nectarine and yellow flowers lingers in the cup, providing a harmonious and enveloping sensation.

A treasure to be discovered, wrapped in tradition

Nannuoshan 2017 tea is enshrined in a delicate, natural mulberry paper that ages along with the leaves, absorbing the unique aromas of fermentation. Opening one of these precious wrappers is a true ritual: a silver sparkle catches the eye, revealing the young buds that lend freshness to the tea. The mature leaves, with their shades of red, brown and dark green, enrich this “cake” of complexity, offering a perfect balance between freshness and depth. Indulge in a moment of pure authenticity, letting the mountains of Nannuo transport you. Each infusion is an invitation to explore the wild heart of China, through the flavors, scents and emotions of a tea that evolves with time, like a precious travel companion.

How to prepare

We highly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to best enjoy these leaves. Following this preparation, 5 grams of leaves can be used in a gaiwan of about 150 ml to make several infusions with different tastes. After a quick rinse of the leaves in water at 100°C, an initial infusion of 20 seconds 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 (25-30 …).

These leaves could be steep about 9 times.

For a classic preparation according to the Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves in a 200-mL cup with water at 100°C for an infusion time of 2-3 minutes.

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.
