Description

Puerh is the only type of tea whose flavor and qualities improve with age. Unlike ripe (shu) puerh, the infusion of raw (sheng) puerh has a golden-green hue and a gentle, grassy aroma.

The tea is pressed into compact 100g cakes (bing cha), convenient for storage and daily use. Menghai Sheng Puerh is made in Yunnan from large-leaf Da Ye Zhong Shai Qing Mao, using traditional processing: picking, withering, fixation, rolling, drying, pressing, and packaging — with no additives.

Because sheng puerh is less fermented, it preserves a fresh, delicate aroma. The liquor is golden and transparent, with a soft, slightly sweet taste, velvety texture, and long aftertaste.

Beyond its exquisite flavor, Sheng Puerh is also valued for its health benefits: it aids digestion, boosts metabolism, helps break down fats, and lowers cholesterol and triglycerides. But its charm goes beyond wellness — a pot of aromatic puerh brings warmth, peace, and lightness to both body and soul.

HOW TO BREW RAW PUER TEA

Using the knife accurately separate some tea leaves along the layers. Brew 2 tea spoons per 500 ml filtered boiled water. Cover with a lid, strain after 2-3 minutes and serve. You can brew the leaves a second and even a third time, adding a minute or two to the brewing time 


Pick teaware

—  For more delicate types of tea, like white or green, glass or porcelain teapots are better while for oolongs, black teas and puerhs clay teapots are preferred
