Quick Sips: A more mild ripe pu-erh than we usually select, this one is silky smooth, with complexity and good longevity. Cocoa, molasses, and walnut are the main notes here.

Our 2013 Ontario 1357 is a loose shou pu-erh harvested in 2012 and fermented from December '12 through January '13. It was produced from the best Yongde county spring '12 material and blended using grades 1, 3, 5, 7 and golden gong ting for complexity. Sweet, smooth, and highly aromatic, Ontario 1357 delivers a vibrant mouthfeel somewhat between a lightly fermented shou and an old raw pu-erh. Notes of brown sugar and walnut are at the forefront, with vanilla and cream balancing it out. A gorgeous vanilla finish lingers with cooling camphor on the tip of the tongue and lips. This tea has a very strong yet calming qi and is a favorite of mine for rainy days and pre-yoga. A fantastic loose shou for drinking now or further aging!
