Pasha Ancient Tree Ripe Pu-erh Tea
Pasha Ancient Tree Ripe Pu-erh Tea comes from Pasha Village in Menghai County, Yunnan Province. This area, with its tropical rainforest climate, an average temperature of 18°C, and annual rainfall exceeding 1600mm, provides excellent conditions for the growth of ancient tea trees over 150 years old. These trees produce thick, nutrient-rich leaves, high in polyphenols and amino acids, which contribute to the tea’s unique flavor and nutritional profile.
The tea is hand-picked between March 20 and May 30, with one bud and three leaves selected. Its production process involves traditional methods such as wilting, pan-firing, rolling, sun-drying, and fermentation. This approach retains the tea’s original qualities while enhancing its smoothness and aging potential, allowing it to develop richer flavors over time.
When brewed, Pasha Ancient Tree Ripe Pu-erh yields a clear, red liquor with a mellow, full-bodied flavor. A subtle sweetness complements its smooth texture, while earthy and woody aromas reflect its fermentation and the heritage of the ancient trees.
For brewing, 8–10 grams of tea is recommended for a 150ml teapot, using water at 90–100°C. A quick rinse awakens the leaves, followed by an initial steep of 5–10 seconds, gradually increasing steeping time for subsequent infusions to reveal its depth.
Pasha Ancient Tree Ripe Pu-erh is valued for its numerous health benefits, including supporting digestion, aiding weight management by breaking down fats, providing antioxidants to combat oxidative stress, and offering a calming, focused energy through its natural caffeine content.
