Ancient Bell (1994)

Flavor Notes: dried cherry, roots, cacao powder, dark chocolate
 
Ancient Bell comes to us from an older time. First picked in the early 190s and aged carefully since then, this Shou Puerh's rich flavors and deep amber liquor encapsulate the nostalgic. No wonder -- the trees that once grew these leaves are themselves from a time past, squarely in the Victorian Age. You'll note hints of cherry and chocolate in these steeps, a thick, luscious texture in the mouth, and a healthy frangrance of the wood and earth.
 
As a fermented tea, Ancient Bell soothes the belly and encourages a healthy inner biome. Its low caffeine content allows it to be enjoyed after meals well into the late afternoon or early evening, while the Qi from the old trees and mature leaf creates a dreamy and calming body feel. 
 
Step back in time and enjoy the complex nature of an excellent aged Shou Puerh.
