Yunnan Ripe 2010 Shu
Yún Nán Shú Pǔ · 云南熟普 (雲南熟普)
puerh-shu · bing · plantation
A representative aged shu pu-erh from Yunnan — wet-piled around 2008, pressed and rested for over a decade. Older shu loses the wet-pile funk that fresh ripe pu-erh sometimes shows and reveals a cleaner, sweeter dates-and-cocoa profile.
