China: Iceland Tuocha Box 2020 Sheng Puerh

冰岛 

Created by a humble family in the stunning Bang Dong village near the renowned Bing Dao Village “Iceland”, and aged to perfection at the site of production, this vibrant 2020 Sheng Puerh gives off a pungent fruity profile evident in the dry leaves and amplifying in the teapot. This rare ball-shaped Tuocha is heralded for its exquisite quality and flavor, crafted from the scarce Gushu Wild Arbor leaves of trees more than a century old. Upon first sampling this remarkable tea, we were enchanted by its remarkable fruitiness akin to fruit drops, prompting a Tuocha Box design mimicking a crate of luxurious confectioneries. The long leaves and rebrewing ability (5-10 brews) are evidence of the great quality poured into each sphere.
