2015 Hong Tai Chang Ming Dee Ripe Pu-erh Tea Loose
Notice: Undefined variable: count_reviews in /home/zcrafts/test_html/catalog/view/theme/cosyone/template/product/product.tpl on line 85We used to have this shu in cakes in our shop and there is a chance that it’ll be back in stock someday. Now we offer to try its loose version.
The interesting thing about it is that it tastes much older than 2015. It has the profile of a thoroughly aged tea - quite similar to the 2006 HTC loose-leaf or even the 1993 Liu Bao. More precisely, it has markers (nuances, tones) in common with both of these bold shu, which have long become our bestsellers, but, to its advantage, at a very affordable price.
Grade. There are quite a lot of stems in the tea, but honest old trees give out everything they should.
Flavor profile contains nuts, betel Liu Bao tones, sweet wood, some mushroom notes, a pinch of camphor and chocolate.
This shu is a little more hesitant to brew into dense oil compared to pressed into cakes version, and this again resembles the behavior of an old tea. The taste is soft and genteel; the infusion goes smoothly, not drying the throat.
Powerful Qi has a noticeable, dense effect. Should be noted, caffeine is also present here in a decent amount.
The conclusion: a great everyday shu with the profile of an old Liu Bao from honest old trees 200-300 years old.

My favorite everyday basic shu pu-erh. In terms of price–quality ratio, it’s the best. A great flavor with a clearly pronounced chen xiang (aged aroma). Slightly sweet, overall very tasty. It handles multiple infusions really well. You can brew it as strong as you like—just like the 2006 shu, it’s almost impossible to overbrew.
I love drinking it very strong: 15–20 g per 150 ml teapot, and it lasts for about 1.5 liters of water, roughly 12–13 infusions. I enjoy it most when it’s thick and dense. For its price, this tea has no drawbacks, and in my opinion, it’s much better than Chinese teas in the same price range.
