This 2021 Burma Border Sheng tea brick is a sheng (green) puer mini tea brick from the summer harvest of 2021. Puer refers to a family of teas exclusive to South China and native to the Yunnan region. It is one of the traditional forms of making tea using the broad leaf “Da Ye” tea plant varietal. Puers can be made either green or dark, from a small tea bush or old growth tea trees. The tea leaves are roasted, then fermented and compressed into a classic puer brick form. Puer tea can also be made loose leaf or in round cakes. The tea leaves for this tea brick are grown on a remote, mountain-top tea garden in Cangyuan near the China-Burma border.
Cake is approximately 3.5x2.5x1".
