Shu Pu-erh "Tea Heads" is an easy-to-brew form of shu pu-erh, pressed into small pellets. The liquor is dark, smooth and rich, with the deep flavor typical of pu-erh.
Each pellet is a ready-made portion: no need to weigh the leaf or break up a cake. The format is handy at home, at the office and on the go, and the dense shu pu-erh opens up beautifully in both a cup and a teapot.
