Yunqing's 2013 Chen Xiang Shou Pu'er
What is Shou (Cooked) Pu'er?
Pu'er is the wine of teas, meticulously picked and aged with each tea mountain having its own personality. True Pu'er is only grown in Yunnan, China, right on the border of Myanmar in the heart of Southeast Asia. It is drunk throughout Asia for its fantastic flavor and health properties.
Shou, or "cooked" pu'er has been put through process that involves piling the leaves and turning the pile repeatedly to rapidly increase oxidation and fermentation. The resulting tea is dark, complex, and known to calm the stomach and aid digestion.
About This Tea
Smooth with a clean mouth feel, this shou is a nice treat. It has a crispness in the first steeps with a rich, darker, smoother character through the middle steeps.
Both the aging and wet piling processes remove caffeine content from the tea, meaning that shou pu'ers are a good candidate for people who are caffeine sensitive but still want some caffeine. Shou is also a good choice for people who enjoy tea later in the day.
Drinkers who want all the caffeine can drink the first wash steep, which will be lighter in flavor but contain the most caffeine.
Jesse Says:
I've known Yunqing since 2012, and he has been one of my personal tea guys for my entire tea journey. His knowledge of pu'er is deep and comes from many years of running his own operation in Yunnan and drinking hundreds of pu'er tea cakes.
Yunqing hosted me last time back in China for a rare tea tasting - if you want to get deeper into pu'er lore, it is definitely worth a watch!
VALUE AND QUALITY
Want the best value? This tea comes in 100g and 200g sizes - check the drop-down menu above!
Jesse's Teahouse started because Jesse realized the quality and value of the tea directly from the Beijing Tea Market was so much higher than what could be easily found in the States -- and around the world.
Jesse contacted his tea friends, they shipped their best teas to him, and he sends them to you. That's it!
These teas are high quality and can be re-steeped multiple times! Each serving makes between 4-8 cups of tea, so at around $.50 a cup, you get top quality Chinese teas at a price that you can enjoy every day.
NOT JUST TEA, TEA CULTURE
Jesse believes the key to making good tea is to help his Chinese tea friends share not just their best teas, but the best ways to make the teas.
That's why each box comes also comes with an info card that tells you:
- Tea Origin
- Steep Temperature
- Steep Time
- Directions for both teapot steeping and gaiwan steeping
All Jesse’s Teahouse Tea Friends (that’s you now!) also get access to private YouTube videos where Jesse and his Chinese tea friends show you how to make the teas and explain the tea-making process.
The links are on QR codes on the back of the info card included in the tea box.
Don't Forget Your Tea Pets!
In Chinese Gongfu Tea Tradition, Tea Pets accompany you at teatime and you "raise" them by feeding them tea! Check out the tea pets at the bottom of this page.
