This exceptional Sheng Pu Erh comes from Xi Niu Tang, a prized micro-region in the Pasha Mountain area of Menghai, Yunnan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Terroir and origin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e At an altitude of 1,800–2,000 meters, the tea trees grow in misty forests on nutrient-rich, red clay soils—a classic example of high-altitude terroir, which lends the leaves their vibrant energy and depth of flavor. The tea is made from Camellia sinensis var. assamica, specifically from old, semi-wild trees between 100 and 300 years old. These deep-rooted trees draw minerals from the subsoil, resulting in leaves with remarkable inner strength, known as cha qi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Taste profile and mouthfeel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e On the palate, this Sheng Pu Erh presents a powerful, present bitterness that quickly transitions into complex layers of resinous sweetness, notes of citrus peel, camphor, and wild honey, as well as a cooling, minty freshness. The texture is dense, oily, and full-bodied, with a lingering Hui Gan (returning sweetness) that unfolds pleasantly in the throat. The brew is clear and bright golden in color—a sign of its youth and purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Stylistic proximity to the “King of Pu Erh”\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Particularly noteworthy is the stylistic similarity to Lao Ban Zhang, the so-called \"King of Pu Erh.\" Like LBZ, this tea possesses a powerful cha qi, an impressive presence, and remarkable depth. While somewhat more restrained in its bitterness, Xi Niu Tang offers a refined, more contemplative version of the LBZ experience—less ostentatious, but equally profound and structured, often with a more elegant flavor profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e Storage potential and conclusion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A tea with great storage potential, yet already delightful in its youth – a rare treasure for serious collectors and lovers of powerful Sheng Pu Erh with noble origins. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Teewald","offers":[{"title":"200g whole cake","offer_id":58073025839368,"sku":"PT-019-20","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10g loose tea","offer_id":58073025872136,"sku":"PT-019-21","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0086\/3449\/9129\/files\/PaSha2026.jpg?v=1782211994","url":"https:\/\/teewald.de\/en-gb\/products\/2026-pasha-sheng-pu-erh-xi-niu-tang","provider":"Teewald","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
