BAJIAOTING Premium Cake from 2008| shou puerh

In the heart of Yunnan, where misty mountains cradle ancient tea gardens, the BAJIAOTING Palace Puerh is born—a tea steeped in centuries of tradition and reverence. This exceptional Puerh is more than just a beverage; it is a journey into the rich cultural heritage of China, where each sip carries the echoes of a bygone era.

Presented in exquisite gift packaging, the BAJIAOTING Palace Pu-erh emerges as a symbol of sophistication and timeless elegance. The packaging itself is a work of art, designed to reflect the tea’s royal lineage and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into its creation. As you open the box, the aroma of aged tea leaves fills the air, hinting at the deep, complex flavors that lie within.

This tea is a celebration of the senses, offering a unique and relaxing experience that unfolds with each infusion. The first steeping reveals earthy notes, reminiscent of the rich Yunnan soil, mingling with hints of dark wood and dried fruit. As the tea continues to steep, its flavors deepen, releasing layers of complexity that dance on the palate—smooth, rounded, and imbued with the wisdom of time.

Dark chocolate
The bitterness and richness of dark chocolate pair seamlessly with Shou Puerh’s earthy and slightly sweet notes, enhancing the tea’s deep, complex profile. Opt for chocolate with a high cocoa content to match the tea’s robustness.

Braised meat dishes
Braised beef short ribs or slow-cooked lamb with aromatic spices, resonate with the tea’s earthy, savory qualities.

Mushroom risotto
The earthy flavors of a mushroom risotto, especially one made with porcini or shiitake mushrooms, pair beautifully with Shou Puerh. The umami richness of the mushrooms brings out the tea’s woody, forest-like notes.
