Giant King Silver Needles Puerh

Giant King Silver Needles Puerh – Smooth Bud-Only Ripe Pu-erh

Giant King Silver Needles Puerh is a unique ripe (shou) pu-erh made entirely from young, silvery-white buds. It's grown on Mount Bitter Bamboo in Pu'er, Yunnan, at an altitude of 1, 800 meters — an ideal tea-growing region famous for its long tea history.

These tender buds are fermented in bamboo baskets for 30 days, then aged and fully oxidized for six months to develop and draw out their woodsy, smooth taste. Because it's made only from buds, this pu-erh is exceptionally smooth, clean and refined compared with typical leaf pu-erh.

Tasting Notes

• Dry leaf: silvery, needle-like buds
• Liquor: strikingly clear reddish brown
• Aroma: woodsy, like a damp forest floor
• Flavor: smooth and very earthy, with woodsy notes and mushroom broth
• Finish: ultra-smooth, with no bitterness
