Shu Pu-erh Lincang is a tea from an organic plantation in the western part of Yunnan province. It is a classic everyday pu-erh for those who value authenticity and purity: a simple, dark, fermented (shu) pu-erh made from good-quality leaf.
The liquor is dark brown, with the aroma typical of this style and a light woody note. As a young pu-erh, it still has the characteristic "damp" earthy notes. The tea comes from a certified organic plantation in the Lincang region, near the border with Myanmar.
