Essence — Young Sheng Puerh · 200g Stone-pressed Cake

Light, bright, and quietly alive. A young sheng with the clarity of mountain water and the sweetness of old trees behind it. This is our most refined tea, not the loudest, but maybe the deepest. This tea asks you to pay the closest attention.

Opens the breath. Draws awareness inward. Clear and subtly immersive. Where the shou teas in this collection ground and warm, Essence lifts; gently, steadily, without force.

Pressed in a limited run of 250 cakes.

Pressed from old-growth arbor material, beautiful ancient trees with real depth of character. Stone-pressed in 2024. This is a tea worth aging. The raw material is high quality and will develop and deepen over years and decades.

Pressed in a limited run of 250 cakes.

TASTING PROFILE:

Liquor: Pale gold, luminous and clean.

Aroma: Fresh and nature-forward, green, sweet, open.

Flavour: Delicate sweetness with a brightness that lingers. No bitterness, no heaviness. The tea reveals itself through gentleness, not force.

Body: Light but present, opens the chest and lifts the breath.

Energy: Clear and upward. A quiet alertness.

Requires a gentle hand. Less leaf, shorter steeps, full attention. This tea responds to restraint. Push it and it thins out. Meet it softly and it opens completely.

THREE WAYS TO BREW	Perfectly sized for smaller teapots and intimate tea sessions, whether brewing gong fu style or enjoying tea alone. The wide lid also makes it ideal for larger gatherings and all-day steeping—simply add the leaves directly, then gently boil the tea for a rich, effortless brew throughout the day.	A beautifully balanced kettle, offering generous capacity while remaining lighter and more compact than the 2300 ml size. Effortlessly pourable, it feels smooth, precise and easy to pass from hand to hand. The lipped lid stays securely in place while pouring, and its smaller size allows it to heat faster. A kettle made simply to be a kettle.	Their largest kettle is designed for generous tea service, with a wide spout for fast, smooth pouring into larger teapots. Its impressive capacity means fewer kettles on the table—two can serve the same room as three 1800 ml kettles. The wide lid makes temperature control easy; lift it to reduce the heat, and the generous size is ideal for brewing tea directly in the kettle during larger gatherings.
