Ember | Shou Puerh & Chrysanthemum

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 and soft. 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

The same shou puerh as Relic, from trees 100 to 150 years old, and some older, in Lincang, Yunnan. Harvested in spring 2020, aged five years or more in Yunnan, then blended with huangju, whole chrysanthemum flowers grown in China, and pressed in 2025. 30% chrysanthemum to 70% tea. Heavy fermentation. The chrysanthemum softens the shou's depth into something soft and gentle.

Body & Effect

Warming and settling, softened by the chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemum is traditionally cooling, so what you get is a beautiful balance: deep warmth from the shou, quiet calm from the flower. 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 our sits 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.
