ShuSheng Pu-erh cake is a truly innovative product. It's been conceived by "Path of Cha" and follows the line of innovative Pu-erh products along with the Kombu Pu-erh. For our ShuSheng Pu-erh cake, the tea master has blended Raw Pu-erh with Ripe Pu-erh tea leaves. He carefully selected the mixing ratio to strike a perfect balance of the tea taste. The Raw Pu-erh tea brings in a strong, stimulating freshness. It invigorates the mind and wakes up the senses. The Ripe Pu-erh tea leaves round out the taste, adding sweetness, a mellow mouthfeel, and a smooth and comforting flavor. The ShuSheng Pu-erh tea has an obvious floral fragrance and a strong, long-lasting aroma that lingers in the mouth and throat for quite some time after your tea session. As the enzymes in Sheng Pu-erh are more alive, they assist in further transforming the ShuSheng Pu-erh tea.
The tea master used Ripe Pu-erh from old trees to craft this unique tea. Old trees in Yunnan are cherished for their tea leaves' distinctive aroma and taste compared to regular tea gardens in the lowlands. The Raw Pu-erh, used in the tea mix, is a 2022 spring harvest. It is also from old trees from the Wuliang mountain. Also known as Endless Mountain, it has been a source of high-quality Pu-erh tea since ancient times. There is an ancient saying about Wuliang mountain: "its towering heights penetrate the clouds, one can't climb it; its surface is so vast one can't measure it." The local Yi minority asserts they have been growing tea on the mountain's slopes for 60 generations, though this may be difficult to confirm.
The mountain towers over 3000 meters above sea level and stretches hundreds of miles. Its lowest point is still more than 1000 meters up. The year-round scenery is shrouded in clouds and mists due to the region's warm climate and high rainfall. Here, old wild trees grow between 1600 and 2200 meters above sea level. The exceptional natural surroundings provide the locally grown tea a special terroir.
