Composed of premium, hand selected old growth material from the multi-generational tea gardens of Mangjing village, in the famous Jingmai mountains of Lancang. This tea was meticulously crafted and fermented with a small batch technique, and the result is quite incredible. In the past, we haven’t been big fans of such young shou puerh, and have typically sought out teas with at least a handful of years on them. This tea completely changed our minds! This shou is ready to drink and enjoy as it is now, and we can only imagine what it will transform into over time, if we manage to keep any of it.
Sweet, thick, and oily, with earthy chocolate notes and a youthful energy. This has been one of our go-to teas for cold mornings and wet winter days.
A tribute to Ariadne- the daughter of King Minos and wife of Dionysus in Greek mythology. Ariadne assisted Theseus in his heroic journey into the labyrinth of Crete by giving him a magical ball of thread that allowed him to find his way out. To us- Tea is somewhat like that magic thread, helping us navigate through the labyrinth of our existence.
