- China Sheng Yunnan Pu-Erh (Green) Tea Cake (200g)
This Pu-Erh tea is the green counterpart to the black tea cake. This tea comes from the southern part of Yunnan and is pressed into a round, just like the black equivalent.
In China, the green version of Pu-Erh tea is called "Sheng", which means "raw". The impressive shiny silver tips of tea leaves used for this cake are 2-3 years old. The leaves are picked, sundried and compressed, allowing a natural aging process.
This is much milder tasting pu-erh, it is more green in character, colour and flavour.
Tea cake is a wonderful accessory, a collector's piece and, of course, a delicious tea for all Pu-Erh connoisseurs!
Ingredients:
100% Organic Sheng Pu-Erh Tea

- our tip - cut a small piece (about 1 tbs) of the tea cake and put in a cup or pot. Add boiling water to the tea and steep for 3-5 minutes. Do not remove the tea leaves which should sink gently to the bottom of the cup. These already infused tea leaves can be infused 3-4 times, but increase the steeping time for subsequent infusions. Enjoy the delicious flavour!
