About product

Red tea from big old tea trees (Gu Shu), dried in the sun (kit. 晒红乔木古树). The tea is harvested from trees about 150 years old in a high-altitude tea garden on the slope of Mount Jinoshan. The developed root system of old trees makes the leaves richer in trace elements, and the high-altitude collection area is characterized by ecological purity and a climate favorale for tea cultivation. 

Jinoshan Mountain, also known as Yule Shan, belongs to the group of 6 Famous Tea Mountains. It is located near the city of Jinghong, the administrative center of Xishuangbanna County.

Shaikhuns are a special category of red teas, where the final drying of the tea leaf is carried out in the sun, and not in a drying cabinet (oven), as in the "classic" dianthus. In this tea, the leaf has a characteristic fragrant berry aroma and retains more moisture and enzymes. And most importantly, shaikhun, like sheng puer, has a high potential for further changes in the aging process - the taste will add roundness, honey, and depth, and the effect is smoothness and strength. 
Aroma: delicate, fruity, floral with confectionery notes

Taste: sweet, balanced, dense. Notes of baked fruits and chocolate.  The aftertaste is enveloping and fresh. Over time, shaikhun will gain flavor and aroma, and become softer and thicker.

Impact: warming, gently toning, concentrating.

Collection: First collection in spring 2022, Jinoshan Mountain (Yule), Xishuangbanna County, Yunnan Province, China.

Steeping Instructions

Traditional Preparation

Add 7-10 grams to a Gaiwan or Gongfu Teapot (150ml-200ml). 

Use 212°F boiling water.

Briefly rinse the leaves. Decant and discard this infusion.

Infuse the first brew for 3 seconds.  

Infuse 2nd and subsequent brews for 5-15 seconds. 

  

Repeat several times until the flavor and aroma of the tea dissipates. As the brewing session ensues, increase infusion time to coax out the body and strength of the final infusions.
