Pu'erh Cru Iceland 20 Ans d'Âge

Description

Notre Pu'erh Cru Iceland 20 Ans d'Âge est un pu'erh cru et vieilli (sheng[ originaire de la plantation Mengku Iceland Tea Garden du comté de Shuangjiang, dans le Yunnan. Le thé Iceland 冰岛茶 est un thé du Yunnan très célèbre et hautement recherché, avec une riche histoire remontant à la dynastie Ming (avant 1485[. Il est cultivé dans un petit village à 2 000 mètres d'altitude au-dessus du niveau de la mer, le long de l'historique et autrefois très fréquentée Ancienne Route du Thé et des Chevaux.

Il est sélectionné à partir de grands arbres sauvages et anciens (de plus de 100 ans[ et se compose de grandes feuilles entières et torsadées. On dit que les feuilles des arbres de Mengku sont vert foncé et douces, avec un parfum particulièrement intense et unique.

La première infusion libère un arôme légèrement boisé, puis une richesse florale et fumée. Ce Pu'erh Iceland vieilli se révèle après la première infusion. Il est incroyablement onctueux, avec une légère note de camphre et d'encens. Son chaqi corsé est fumé, onctueux et frais, avec une touche d'astringence.

Conservé correctement, ce thé poursuivra son vieillissement à merveille. Pour une expérience de dégustation optimisée, nous vous recommandons d'utiliser un gaiwan et de réaliser des infusions multiples.

[EN] This tea tastes wonderful - a smooth and velvety mouthfeel accompanied by a floral boquet.

It does not withstand a lot of brews however. I use 5g of leaves with 100ml of water, and steep for around 15 seconds. After the first 5 or 6 brews the taste seems to diminsh markedly, and from that point on the tea needs 1 to 2 min steeps.

[EN] I really like this tea, my first try of an aged raw pu'erh.
I get a smooth gentle taste of apricot melon and raisins with zero astringency/bitterness. I use a round teaspoon in a 150ml yixing teapot for 3mins, and get 3 tasteful steeps, a little longer for each steep which works well for my taste.

[EN] So good and soothing - this is my go-to hangover tea or for stressful mornings and it always makes me feel incredible. The flavour is very smooth and not on the musty side like you get with many puerhs. Will be buying many times!

[EN] Stunned at how amazing this tea is. I drink the blackest of blacks,and mostly Shu puerh as I like my tea STRONG and dark. Full bodied . Lapsang Souchong is my favorite. But I wanted to try a well aged Sheng as I heard they are better than the shu. Ripe... cooked Puerh. When I saw how light and golden this was... I was worried . But this is smooth, NO bitterness. Buttery, soft, delicate and has a honey apricot flavor. I will be buying it again. LOVE it!

[EN] Great! Filled with fruit aroma, clean, smooth, astringent but the bitterness disappears in the mouth after one or two seconds.

[EN] I was suprised by this tea. I was expecting a darker, more "aged" taste, this tea is very clean tasting and still very "green". A lovely thick mouthfeel, a little astringencey in the first infusions which fades quickly. The wet leaves smell faintly smokey with a nice hay aroma coming forward. The taste is very sweet and lingers in the whole mouth for a long time. Also this tea has obviously been processed and cared for very well. The leaves are still all in tact and the ratio of buds to leaves is very high making for a nice rounded flavour.
At this price it's a real bargain for age and quality. If you store this tea correctly it will develop nice fruit flavours I believe.

[EN] This raw puerh is fragrant and fresh. It is unlike any puerh I have tried- very woods-floral and the taste is incredible- I get many infusions when I prepare it in my gaiwan.

[EN] A clean tasting sheng puerh. A good longevity and very session-able whilst multitasking.

[EN] I love the tea, but they recently changed their packaging, at least for the 3.52 Oz. I like that it's recyclable, but there's a window and light degrades tea quality, which a tea company really should know. Hopefully, they're just doing this for pu-erh, but it's disappointing.

[EN] Seems very weak tasting on my first infusion. I followed directions and color was still faintly amber (barely)! I’m used so far to a darker, richer Pu’erh tea. I honestly couldn’t give it 5* stars due to the lack of taste and weak body. If it does get better with repeat infusions I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise I will probably blend this with a stronger Pu’erh so it doesn’t go to waste.

[EN] I've tried to brew this 20 yr Aged 'Iceland' Pu'erh many times, many ways: weak, strong, 2nd infusion... No attempt has yielded any interesting aroma or taste whatever. It's clearly the most bland, tasteless tea of ANY type I've ever had. Markedly weaker than any of the pu'er varieties I've tried before.

I simply can't comprehend the 5 star reviews from other buyers here --- they are describing a totally different product than I received. I'll be adding what's left of it to my compost bin.
