Ep 25 - "Slumbering Grove" Is A Mellow Pu'er Made Of Old Bush Leaves From The Yiwu Mountains

The host and one of the tea importers from Trident Cafe and Teas, Jake Dirnberger, and filmmaker, Josh Hyde, steep “Slumbering Grove,” a pu'er tea. “Slumbering Grove” is another Trident-custom pressing from the Yiwu mountains in southeast Yunnan. It was made from old tree material gathered in the spring of 2017 and pressed into 200 gram cakes in 2021. Being stored as maocha (unpressed loose tea) in humid Guanzhou, it tastes remarkably far along in the aging process for being less than five years old. Its flavor is mellow, deep, and woodsy, with classic Yiwu stonefruit, floral, and wet earth aromas. Find the highest quality teas at Trident Cafe and Teas.
