Ember — Shou Puerh & Chrysanthemum · 200g  Cake

The deep, comforting base of shou softened by something gentle and floral. Chrysanthemum brings a quiet cooling into the warmth, like the last glow settling after heat. Smooth, almost medicinal. A warm hand on tired shoulders.

Tasting Profile

  • Liquor: Dark and clear with a honeyed softness
  • Aroma: Wood smoke, honey, gentle florals
  • Flavour: Deep shou sweetness tempered by chrysanthemum's lightness — smooth and clean all the way through
  • Body: Coating and settling, with a coolness that arrives underneath the warmth
  • Energy: Calming. Slows the breath. Restorative without being heavy.

Material

Ancient tree shou puerh blended with chrysanthemum flowers. The base tea is made from old-growth arbor material, aged before pressing. The chrysanthemum softens the shou's depth into something medicinal and gentle.

Body & Effect

Soothes inflammation. Clears heat. Calms the mind. Chrysanthemum is traditionally cooling, so what you get is a beautiful balance — deep warmth from the shou, quiet calm from the flower. Restorative and cooling within warmth.

In the Space

Ember is the tea for winding down. For evenings, for tired bodies, for when the nervous system needs something that doesn't stimulate but simply holds. A tea that meets you where you are and asks for nothing more.

Brewing

Prepared in ceremony and shared in bowls. The chrysanthemum makes itself known from the first steep; delicate, floral, and immediately soothing.

Pressed in a limited run of 300 cakes.
