Shu pu-erh "Little Mouse" from 2020 is a pressed tea weighing 357 g with a soft, warm and harmonious character. With years of storage it has become rounder and calmer, but it has kept its density and pleasant sweetness.
This is the classic flavor of a mature shu pu-erh: a rich, thick and velvety infusion with no harshness. The tea is equally good for a quiet evening session and for everyday brewing.
