This collection of authentic vintage Pu-erh teas represents the pinnacle of tea craftmanship, featuring rare and delicate gems well aged over decades. Sourced from renowned regions like Menghai and Yiwu, these teas are prized for their Cha Qi (tea energy) and a lingering "hui tian" (sweet aftertaste) that coats the throat and soothing the body.
A Legacy of Aging
- Aged Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh: These teas, often 15 to 20+ years old, have evolved from vibrant and astringent beginnings into refined, smooth complex masterpieces. Expect deep amber liquors with a bouquet of antique wood, dried fruits, and honeyed sweetness.
- Vintage Ripe (Shou) Pu-erh: Expertly post-fermented and aged to remove early "wet-pile" notes, our ripe collection offers a remarkably thick, silky mouthfeel with mature aromas of dates, camphor, and dark chocolate.
The Art of Dry Storage
We place special emphasis on the rarity and integrity of Kunming dry storage—an approach deeply respected for its slow, natural maturation. In contrast to the more accelerated wet-storage methods commonly found in aged teas stored in Guangdong, Kunming’s dry climate allows Pu-erh to age gradually and gracefully.
This patient evolution preserves the tea’s original vitality, fragrance, and texture. Over time, it develops a refined chen xiang (陈香, aged aroma) —free from heaviness or mustiness.
