Earth | Shou Puerh

Earth — Shou Puerh · 200g Shou Puerh Cake

Rich, dark, and immediately familiar. A tea that asks nothing of you except that you drink it. Smooth from the first steep, grounding from the first sip. Earth is the shou we reach for most, and the one our guests return to again and again.

• Liquor: Deep amber, thick and clear
• Aroma: Warm malt and damp forest floor

Material

Pressed from older arbor tree material, approximately 50–120 years old. Pressed in 2025.

Body & Effect

Warms the body. Settles the stomach. Supports digestion. The kind of tea you can drink every day without thinking about it and the kind that quietly restores you when you do.

Daily medicine.

In the Space

Earth is one of the most served teas at Cloud Hidden. It's what we open cooler mornings with, what we return to on darker evenings, and what most of the team drink daily. It's also our most commonly purchased cake, a consistent favourite among anyone who's sat with us.

Brewing

Prepared in ceremony and shared in bowls from the side-handle pot. At home, brew simply: generous leaf, boiling water, short steeps. This tea doesn't need precision. It just needs to be made.

Pressed in a limited run of 700 cakes.
