Introducing Rishi’s curated selection of winter Shu Pu’er teas. These blends are specifically crafted to support our bodies in the colder months. Shu Pu’er is a fermented tea that has a warming effect, is deeply energizing and has been used for centuries to aid digestion.

We sourced low-temperature dried, new crop green tangerine peels to blend with our five-year-aged Shu Pu’er from Lincang, Yunnan. Tangerine peels are a time-honored folk remedy for facing the cold winter season. It is especially potent when used synergistically with Pu’er.

This blend is vibrant and fresh with a complex aroma. Experience herbaceous and woodsy flavors with bright and lively citrus notes of petitgrain, bitter orange and floral neroli.

Traditional Preparation

Add 8-9 grams to a Gaiwan or Gongfu Teapot (per 150ml-200ml). 
Use 200°F water. 
Don’t rinse this tea. 
Infuse the first brew for 1 minute. 
Infuse 2nd and subsequent brews for 45 seconds. 
  
Repeat several times until the flavor and aroma of the tea dissipates. As the brewing session ensues, increase infusion time to coax out the body and strength of the final infusions.
