2013 HHC Hou Run Shu/Cook Puerh - 250g brick

250g brick

Meng Hai He He Chang Tea Factory made Hou Run Shu Cha 
Shu pu is quite a controversial topic in the world of pu erh. I personally think like any category of tea, there are great, good and there are sub-quality products. This is one of the most balanced cooked/shu pu of the year of 2013, according to a few well-known tea collectors. Highest praise for a shu pu I have heard in a long time.  Soft, buttery, rich and vibrant, a trace of sweet lotus flower aroma, similar to Jin Zhen Bai Lian, and it can last many many brews.  Hou Run means thick and nourishing, best described the tea.  My friend called it meaty. On top of the quality, the price is right!
