Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh
Last Updated: Mar. 14, 2014
↑About Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh

Like ripe pu-erh, raw pu-erh is often aged and often becomes more desirable with age. Raw pu-erh tends to have a very strong flavor before it is aged.
Raw pu-erh is available both loose and in compressed forms, such as a tuocha cake. Raw pu-erh can be classified as both a green tea and a pu-erh tea. We list all Pu-erh as a subcategory of dark tea or hei cha for simplicity and practicality, but un-aged raw Pu-erh is usually more accurately classified as a green tea.

Clear aroma of tea leaves, with mild notes of fermentation. Bitter, but not aggressive, flavour of black tea, with leafy notes and barely discernible touches of fer...

Xiaguan Te Ji Raw Pu-Erh Tuo from Xiaguan Tea Factory

SECOND UPDATE: I'm pretty sure now that this tuo is counterfeit and not really from the Xiaguan factory. I'd been drinking leaves from the surface, which were good, but just broke through to a second layer of chopped up leaves and twigs. I'm rather surprised at the amount of effort that went into counterfeiting a tea t...

Style: Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh – Region: Yunnan, ChinaDec. 2nd, 2018
I'd rate this one pretty high, but most of the flavor is in the breath, not in the taste itself. I think it's a matter of personal preference as to whether one prefers one, the other, or both. I prefer both because it gives more of a rounded experience. This just doesn't have enough in the taste to appeal to me. There ...

While the dry leaves have a rather muted scent, the wet leaves and brewed tea both have an amazingly sweet aroma, like if flowers were candy. Like the Daily Drinker, this is on the mellow side, but this one can be pushed further if you can tolerate bitterness. Brewed normally, the first couple steeps are grassy and veg...

This tea has a wonderfully bright, fresh, floral fragrance, and a light bittersweet (more sweet than bitter) taste. It's moderately astringent, so be careful with brew times. As the name suggests, this won't be the greatest tea you've ever tasted; it's called Daily Drinker for a reason. It is quite good for the price, ...
