China Pu-Erh Black Elephant Beeng Cha Shu, a remarkable tea that pays homage to the fascinating journey of 16 wild elephants from Xishuangbanna to Pu-Erh in 2021. Inspired by this extraordinary event, this tea embodies the essence of the untamed wilderness and the untouched beauty of nature found along the newly established elephant trail. Crafted with meticulous care, the tea leaves boast a deep dark brown hue, pressed into small to medium flat-round shapes that evoke the spirit of the journey itself.

Brewing this unique Pu-Erh Black Elephant Beeng Cha Shu reveals a cup of intense darkness with a bright reddish-brown hue, reflecting the tea’s bold and robust character. This special tea not only encapsulates the rich history and natural wonders of the region but also represents the highest quality and endurance, mirroring the resilience of the elephants’ trail. As a tribute to this exceptional journey, our Pu-Erh Black Elephant Beeng Cha Shu promises a tea-drinking experience that transcends taste, inviting you to savour the spirit of adventure and the raw beauty of nature in every sip.

Pu’erh – shu or sheng?

Pu’erh tea comes in two main types: Sheng (raw) and Shu /Shou (ripe). Sheng is aged and naturally fermented over time, developing a lively, earthy flavour and gentle digestive benefits. Shu undergoes a wet-piling process that speeds fermentation, producing a smooth, earthy tea often enjoyed for its calming effect and support for digestion.
