Organic Disc of the Seven Sons 2013 Shu

Compressed tea disc (2013), with its note of earth and fruit, for a well-being break. From controlled natural organic production.

This matured Pu-erh tea owes its name to the tradition of packaging it in batches of seven discs to offer as a gift to young couples to wish them the birth of seven sons (which once ensured the prosperity of the lineage). It is still offered and drunk today, this time only to savor its flavors of earth and humus and its sweet balance on the palate.

Pu-erh tea or PuErCha (普洱茶) in Chinese, originated in the province of Yunan, in the city of the same name, and refers to a family of teas that have undergone anaerobic fermentation. The leaves of the Camellia Sinensis tea plant, native to this region of Asia, are pressed into cakes, nests or even in bulk and will ferment without oxygen for a long time. The result is a lively tea, improving with age, with a characteristic taste and no bitterness, whose virtues are prized. Pu-erh is divided into two categories: matured Pu-erh, where the tea has been previously fermented (in piles) and raw Pu-erh, which is, according to the ancestral method, immediately compressed.
