Ripe (Shou) Pu-erh tea made from Myanmar old tea trees (gushu pu-erh tea). Fermented in 2014 in Yunnan (Menghai).

This shou has surprisingly transparent infusion for its age.

Taste matches the infusion – clear, distinct and bold. It has one of that specific characteristic that allows distinguishing real shou from old trees (gushu cha) from the total mass of ripe pu-erhs, the depth and versatility. The term "deep" for taste can be decomposed into "powerful, juicy, long and multifaceted" if it makes it more understandable.

In the dominant here is a fruit-milk mix, with notable dried cherries and toffee scents. Light and soft woodiness in the background complements and completes the taste pallet. The finish is woody and fruity.

This tea shows impressive resistance to multiple steepings, long-lasting shou.

Traditionally powerful Qi of pu-erh tea from trees promotes performance, calmness, and vigor without stress.

I've had a couple of occasions where I've picked up a Thai sheng and thought it was shu, but usually only until the leaf warms up and I inhale the aroma. This time I took a cake of frank shu, but since its cover is the same as the sheng, I was a little hesitant. [Here it is not quite clear, we have only one tea with such a cover - shu, note TEASIDE]
And after I listened to this "shu" in the teapot and felt the trademark ancient-dry-fruit notes of the old, I was sure that this is ancient Sheng again. Although I was confused by the year, 2014, it couldn't have matured so quickly to this condition!
But after making one quick strain, I was only confirmed in my opinion. This tea has too bright a flavor for shu, it is both herbal and sweet, and at the same time dry fruit on the first spills.
Fortunately, in the next strains, when I held the tea longer, it became oil, fat and dark, like a real shu. But the taste was still too bright and made me nervous :)
The steeps are very different and the taste is playful - here and there. Yes and in general behaved like a tea 10 years older than it is, very unusual.
It was the first time I'd had tea for so long and didn't realize what I was drinking. But more importantly, it tasted really good.

Drink this tea already 2 years and I think it has the best balance

Good shu. No obvious care in the woods, no wet rags or peat.
With a slight note of?.. camphor? - some aroma that intrigues the sense of smell.
Clean, soft, calm. Profile: nuts, I guess.

This is the second time I've taken this tea. This time for a friend. His feedback: I liked the tea very much, fragrant, holds spills, yet very mild to the taste. We drink it in the bath, it has a very strong effect!

Such a drink of a Pu-erh aristocrat - nothing superfluous, light and pleasant taste.
