This traditional style of black Shu Pu Er tea offers an impressively robust infusion that is credited to our unique blend of vintages ranging from 2-4 years in age. One of the first teas to travel beyond its growing region from Yunnan to Tibet and Mongolia, Pu Er teas were typically compressed for ease of trade in exchange for horses and salt in ancient times. Today, this compressed form is still used for convenience.

The complex personality of Shu Pu Er Tuo tea revealed over multiple infusions: smooth while robust, a bit sweet and a bit savory, mellow yet powerful. Each ball of tea is about 5 grams and is a single serving size to brew.
