Tasting – Sight and smell

Wu Liang Origin organic shu puer tea comes in small, thin, single-serving, square-shaped pods composed of compressed leaves with color shades ranging from dark brown to coppery brown and a high presence of rust-gold colored buds. Once infused in water, the wafer softens rather quickly, leaving the leaves free to dance in the water. The aromas are complex and enveloping: hints of leather, a hint of empyreumatic, hints of damp earth, leaves and wet wood, with a hint of fennel and a balsamic note on the finish. In the cup, the liquor is dark brown tending toward coffee, rather impervious to light and with some faint orange reflections.

Tasting Notes

GONG FU CHA

The first infusion of Wu Liang Origin organic shu puer tea surprises with its sweetness and offers hints of wood, leather, and a peaty note reminiscent of whiskey. The finish has a bitter cocoa note with a fruity undertone, while the aftertaste has the flavor of licorice and coffee. With the second brew, the body of the tea becomes thicker and more enveloping: notes of coffee but without bitterness and an earthy sweetness that brings to mind potato skins. There is also a hint of aromatic tobacco with a vanilla note in the closing. The third and several subsequent infusions bring to light the incredible smoothness this tea offers to the palate. The leather note already present in the first infusion becomes predominant here, along with a very persistent vanilla sweetness. On the finish, hints of underbrush combine with notes of bitter cocoa.

WESTERN

Wu Liang Origin organic shu puer tea opens with forest notes: bark and humus are recognizable, while a note of fennel appears in the second line followed by hints of licorice wood and coffee. The woody note then evolves into barrel wood and notes emerge that are almost reminiscent of a slightly peaty whiskey. The finish has delicate notes of leather and an elusive hint of dark chocolate. The body is very soft and enveloping, medium in density and without a trace of bitterness or astringency.

Place of origin

Zhengwan – Puer, Cina

How to prepare

We strongly recommend infusing Wu Liang Origin organic shu puer tea 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.
