Ancient Puer

Blender's Notes:

Caffeinated 

Ancient Puer No. 84 is an incredibly complex tea for those who want something special and entirely unique. It boasts a deep, earthy flavor base with funky notes of wet earth and seaweed, thanks to the fermentation process that makes Puer teas so unique.

The flavor of Ancient Puer No. 84 is a puzzle at first; the immediately recognizable flavor of many familiar black teas is quickly complicated with a savory slew of new aromas and tasting notes.

Perhaps more surprising, though, is its texture; a slightly thick, buttery mouthfeel provides a tea-drinking experience unlike most others. Ancient Puer No. 84 is best enjoyed hot alongside savory meals, where its earthy, complex flavor profile and buttery mouthfeel can complement a suite of umami-filled ingredients.
