Description
Shou, or Cooked Pu'erh is the most popular style of Pu'erh in the West. Full bodied, very earthy and smooth, this tea can be left to steep without worry of over brewing. Shou Pu'erh was developed in the Seventies to meet the demands of the domestic and Hong Kong market. The goal was to accelerate the fermentation process, which would normally take 10 to 15 years through natural aging.
Origin: Cangyuan County, Lincang Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China
