Sheng Puerh

Sheng puerh is produced from Yunnan maocha without accelerated moist piling. After drying, it may remain loose or be compressed, then change gradually under the influence of time and storage. Young sheng can combine flowers, fresh greenery, fruit, minerality, pronounced bitterness, and a sweet finish. Mature examples more often develop dried-fruit, woody, and herbal nuances with a softer texture. The collection includes artisan teas, material from old or individual trees, and classic factory recipes. Such labels describe origin or production tradition but do not replace tasting. Begin with short infusions and choose water temperature according to the age and sensitivity of the leaf. Excessive time can quickly amplify bitterness and astringency in a young sheng.
