Shu Pur is a type of fermented tea produced in Yunnan Province, China. Willow Mountain tea is known for its high quality and unique taste, which is formed due to special growing and processing conditions. Shu Pur is distinguished by the dark color of the infusion and a rich, sweet taste.
The production process
The production of Shu Pur begins with the processing of raw materials called mao cha, which is unfermented tea leaves. These leaves undergo controlled fermentation, which gives the tea its characteristic taste and aroma. During fermentation, the leaves are stacked in heaps and periodically turned over, which contributes to uniform oxidation.
Taste and aroma
Shu Pur tea from the Willow Mountains has a deep, rich taste with characteristic earthy and woody notes. The fragrance often resembles moist earth, tree bark and mushrooms. The infusion has a dark color, close to coffee, and is characterized by sweetness with light fruity accents. As tea ages, it becomes more complex and layered.
The brewing process
It is recommended to use water with a temperature of 90-95 °C for brewing Shu Pur. 5-6 grams of tea is enough for one serving (150 ml). The first brew should be infused for 2-3 minutes, and the subsequent ones can be increased by 30 seconds. Shu Pur is well suited for repeated brewing, allowing you to reveal new flavors with each serving.
