Highlights:
- Extra tall (gaogan) ancient trees in the forest
- Extraordinary forest Qi (energy)
- Complex aromas
- Super clean and pure
This is the tea I’d recommend for the person that prioritise Qi (energy) above all: the price for this quality of Qi is extremely good. It responds to boiling water with little astringency but rather a light, ever changing bouquet of flavours and aroma.
Being a purple leaves varietal tree (the only one we ever offered) the taste is somewhat different from standard puerh: namely it’s not as thick. It however has a delightful sweet aftertaste, with a taste resembling a bit black teas in the beginning and changing later into more classic Puerh.
Puerh.uk Benchmark Ancient Tree Series Introduction
- The best possible ancient tree tea that can be obtained in a given specific garden
- Our most significant contribution to making available a type of puerh that was not available before
- Super strict quality criteria (classic puerh areas only, 1st spring pick, extremely clean environment, ancient trees that have never been cut, healthiest and biggest trees only chosen for single trees production)
The best tea is not for sale, it’s available only through relationships. Tier 5 is about 0.01% of available Puerh, with ancient tree leaves only with all taste qualities present in overwhelming amount, tea that is basically only found in elite asian circles and via private connections.
Benchmark ancient tree Puerh is a subset of Tier 5, and particularly means: this is highest expression of ancient tree puerh from a specific garden, so it can be used as “benchmark” to tell whether other puerh is truly ancient tree or not.
Puerh of this quality has never been made before in history (only in the last 10 years), this is the most exciting frontier of tea at the moment as far as we’re concerned. Please see the full Benchmark ancient tree introduction page for more info.
