Da Shu Tou Chun (Big Tree First Flush Sheng Pu-erh), A, 2025

First-flush spring sheng pu'er (Tou Chun) from large Da Shu tea trees grown in 2025. The infusion is clear and bright golden. The aroma is powerful, herbaceous and floral. The flavor is juicy and bold, with a structured bitterness of early spring that immediately gives way to a powerful flow of dried apricot sweetness and a luscious finish. Temperature: 85–90°C Teaware: porcelain gaiwan Tip: First-flush Tou Chun tea requires quick steepings (3–5 seconds) to curb the spring bitterness and release the sweetness.
