Dashu

Bangdong Yakou 2024

For lovers of refreshing Shengs.

Harvested from middle-aged Dashu trees in the narrow mountain passes of Yakou village in Bangdong to the West of the Lancang River, the vibrant leaves of this fresh Sheng Pu’er Mao Cha do not hold back what they have to offer. From the first waft of fragrance when opening the bag to the echoes lingering on the palate after its final steep, this tea evokes the invigorating sensation of a glass of apple spritzer on a hot summer’s day. Its crisp texture and slight tartness combine with a bouquet of fruity flavors and a gentle cooling sensation emerging from the throat to produce the perfect companion for a sunny afternoon or anytime you crave a refreshing tonic.
