Aged Shu Puerh Tea - Pang Yu Tai Lung Kee "Double Lion" (2000)

The Pang Yu Tai Lung Kee "Double Lion" from 2000 is a hallmark of classic, Hong Kong-market Shu Puerh—a style prized for its density, purity, and stable, refined taste profile. This tea delivers a thick, rich brew with a pronounced oily texture and a pleasant, inherent sweetness that defines well-aged ripe Puerh.
The flavor is confidently expressed, dominated by notes of ripe cherry, dark dried fruits (like dates or raisins), and soft, aged woody tones. It brews consistently, maintaining its clean character and complexity over many infusions without descending into heaviness or excessive earthiness.
The effect of this Shu Puerh is calm and collected. It provides a steady, grounded vitality that aids concentration and focus without overstimulating the nervous system. This makes it an excellent, reliable choice for daily tea enjoyment, productive work, or leisurely, extended tea sessions where a sustained and pleasant energy is desired.
Brewing Recommendation:

• Water Temperature: 95–100 °C (203–212 °F)
• Tea Amount: 5-7 grams per 150 ml
• Steeping Time: Start with a quick rinse. First infusion: 15-20 seconds. Increase time gradually for subsequent steeps. This tea is a reliable performer with good stamina.

A dependable and delicious example of mature, well-crafted Shu Puerh.
