Kuashan (Hummingbird) Raw Sheng Pu Erh 2023, 200g

Experience a "wild flight" of sweetness with the 2023 Hummingbird, a vibrant Spring Raw Puer from the emerging Kuashan region of Lincang, Yunnan. This unblended, single-estate tea is celebrated for its incredible levity and candy-like profile, offering a approachable entry point into the world of high-end Sheng Puer.

Sourced from Dashu (Big Tree) old-growth arbor, these trees reach deep into mineral-rich clay soil to produce a liquor that is distinctively sweeter than most Lincang offerings. Because Kuashan is a recent discovery in the Puer world, the Hummingbird 2023 offers exceptional old-arbor quality at an accessible price point for collectors and tea lovers.

Terroir & "Big Tree" Heritage

• Dashu (Big Tree) Leaves: Harvested from ancient trees several meters tall, delivering a mineral-rich body that anchors the tea's natural sweetness.

• Lincang Terroir: Located in North Eastern Lincang, this rocky region produces a unique "sweet-mineral" balance that rivals the legendary Bingdao profiles.

• Farm-to-Table Purity: Picked and pressed in April 2023, this tea is a pure expression of a single garden, free from the blending found in mass-market cakes

Sensory Profile

The 2023 Hummingbird is a study in lightness and fragrance. The wet leaves instantly evoke nostalgic notes of cream savers and watermelon bubblegum, with juicy orange citrus in the background. On the palate, the brew is light and sweet, featuring a bouquet of rock candy, grape skin, and smooth cream that lingers beautifully in the upper palate.
