Relic | Ancient Tree Shou Puerh (Lao Shu)

Relic — Ancient Tree Shou Puerh (Lao Shu) · 200g Shou Puerh Cake

A tea from another time. Leaves from trees that have stood for four to five centuries, trees that breathed a different air, that grew under different skies, through different human histories. Aged for five years before pressing, then carried forward. Quiet, mineral, and deeply still. This is not a tea you pass through. This is a tea you sit with.

Tasting Profile

• Liquor: Dark and full, with a weight you can feel
• Aroma: Forest floor, camphor, aged wood
• Flavour: Mineral and soft, stone, leather, a low sweetness that arrives late
• Body: Thick and coating, draws the attention inward
• Energy: Grounding in a way that slows you down. Encourages longer sitting.

Material

Ancient tree material (Lao Shu), approximately 400–500 years old. Aged five years before being into cake. A living archive.

Pressed in a limited run of 500 cakes.

Body & Effect

Nourishes the core. Grounds scattered energy. Builds internal stability over a session rather than arriving all at once. A tea that rewards staying; the longer you sit, the more it gives.

In the Space

Relic is reserved for slower sessions. For when the room gets quieter, the pace drops, and depth is the intention. Not an everyday tea, a tea for when you want to go further. Blends beautifully with Earth.

Brewing

Prepared in ceremony and shared in bowls. Longer sessions. This tea opens gradually and doesn't ask to be rushed.

Pressed in a limited run of 500 cakes.
