Origin: Menghai, Yunnan, China
Specificity: Cooked Pu'erh Tea Brick – Vintage 2005
A naturally aged, post-fermented tea produced from large leaves rich in active compounds, renowned for its stability, complexity, and rare medicinal potential.
Packaging: 250 grams, compressed brick.
Bouquet: Deep aromas of damp earth, ancient wood, and dried roots. The liquor reveals a distinctive ginseng-like fragrance, resulting from long aging. A harmonious balance of undergrowth, black fungus, leather, and medicinal herbs. Each infusion gains in suppleness and serenity.
Properties: This tea is traditionally renowned for its warming and digestive effects. It is particularly prized as an accompaniment to hearty meals or at the end of the day for its comforting properties. The natural medicinal flavor, which has developed over time, is reminiscent of invigorating Chinese infusions. Sought after by connoisseurs for its ability to balance Qi and calm the mind.
Dosage: 8 to 10 grams (up to 12 grams depending on the number of guests)
Preparation: Start by awakening the tea at 100°C with two quick rinses (2 to 3 seconds each).
Then, infuse at 90°C:
First infusion: 6 seconds
Second infusion: 9 seconds
Then, add 6 seconds to each new infusion.
This gradual infusion protocol allows for the extraction of the aromatic richness specific to ancient teas. The taste evolves from infusion to infusion, gaining in depth and finesse with each infusion.
Tonal: Ochre-brown liqueur with ruby highlights. The first infusions offer a lighter color, which gradually darkens until it evokes an old Port. The clarity of the infusion testifies to controlled fermentation and good aging.
Taste: Bold nuances of aged leather, medicinal roots, cedarwood, sweet tobacco, jujube, and barley cream. Added to this are deep earthy notes, typical of aged cooked Pu'erh. The medicinal character is distinct, natural, and unadulterated—a taste reminiscent of ginseng infusions or traditional Chinese decoctions. Silky texture, lingering sweetness, without bitterness or astringency. Perfect for the end of the day, introspective, or meditative moments.
Texture: Full, silky, slightly tannic, with a lovely length on the palate.
Storage: Store the carton in its original packaging.
Avoid airtight containers, humid areas, or areas with strong odors.
Prefer a quiet, temperate, open-air space—a shelf or a closed bookcase. This tea is a product for aging, whose medicinal and earthy aromas will continue to improve over the years. No consumption deadline.

from 41 reviewsThe textured mouthfeel of this shou is incredible! From the first infusuion you feel its density - silky and fuuull, spreading through the entire mouth and setting into oily, kind of waxy afterfeel... Yeah, afterfeel - as this tea is more about sensetions that unfold through the session...
The flavor profile leans toward deep earthy notes. Very grounded character, so dense but clean. And in the later infusions, especially when brewed a bit cooler, the profile shifts toward dark chocolate tones becoming rounder and softer
That brick become one of my favorites so fast after recieving the batch from Alexandre and the half of it went out very very quickly as its creamy earthy profile is sooooo addictive
This shou presents a dense, deeply woody profile. Mature wood notes emerge - full-bodied and gently enveloping
The liquor feels clean and clear and goes to nice orange tone after 6 brews while maintaining its dense woody characterr with increasing sweetness in each infusion
In the aftertaste sweet, silky cocoa unfolds - smooth and refined, like dark chocolate slowly melting on the tongue🙂↔️
P.S. the tea is really dense and can easily replace a meal:)
Comblé et ravi de la découverte de ce site mais SURTOUT de la sélection. Au delà de sa sympathie, Alexandre est un véritable orfèvre du Pu Erh...Conseil avisé, justesse, adaptation et surtout...Voyage dans la tasse. Néophyte, je n'ai pas réussi à trouver mieux et je ne souhaite qu'une chose : voir son catalogue s étayer au fil des saisons. Merci à toi Alexandre et au plaisir de recommander sur ta boutique (bientôt) !
Just finished last 5g of this brick today morning so its a perfect time for a review
When it first arrived, maybe like 6-7 omonths ago, the tea showed his tannic stucture power and was super sharp BUT after few weeks of "resting" on the shelf it really opened up - the body become smoother, rounder and pleasant
With weekly sessions over the course of month the tea gradually reveled its character. Personally, I found it more enjoyable after the meals. The earthy base opened with cocoa depth and transitioned into a gentle tannic structure with a touch of sweetness, and overall remaining its round and deeply layered structure
I had never experienced that noticeable tannins in shou before this brick, so at first they felt a bit unusual. Through the time and explorings this and other shou they become very familiar. Lightly drying sensation in the mouth which arrived gently and faded quickly
For this price point, the experience you get feels muuuuuuuuch muuuuch more than fair
Appreciete you Alexandre!
Produit d'excellence !!! Après diverses expériences sur d'autres sites c'est désormais ICI et uniquement que je ferai mes commandes !!! Tout est parfait !!! Conseils, suivi, expédition... Merci pour tout cher Alexandre.

I give seven stars out of seven. Great tea. Very tasty, refreshing, toning and invigorating. I also want to note that this cake lasts for a very long time. Super 🙌 , Alexander, thank you and express my respect 🫡!!!
Very good, time-tested and tasted tea by me personally, more than once. Excellent rich and at the same time soft taste. Very powerful effect and tangible benefits. A cup of this tea will not leave you indifferent. This is one of my favorites. There should always be such kindness. This is not my first brick, and I really recommend it to both connoisseurs and beginners. 👍👍👍Thank you! ☺️
I know that this raw puer has a wonderful taste of medium saturation and quite powerful and at the same time soft effect. Thank you Alexander for the constant quality! I recommend this tea to every connoisseur of truly high-quality healthy and invigorating drinks.
I have been a tea drinker for many years now, reading a lot about tea.
I was looking for tea pu erh resine since I’ve never tasted it.
That’ s how i found the « crème pu erh cuit » on Alexandre website « le meilleur thé de Chine ».
I really enjoyed drinking this crème de thé!
It taste like fermented tea no doubt about it , and it is very easy to prépare .
Great tea 🫖! I consider this option to be one of the most optimal in terms of price and quality ratio. Delicious taste, pleasant aroma and very noticeable effect. It feels like this product is really useful!
Discovered Chinese Resin Tea quite recently so went to the top-of-the-tree to compare. It took a while to tune in to various teas but I can now confidently say that this falls into that top category, quite delightful tea but the price is a bit of a stretch. Is it worth it? Yes, I will likely be tempted at some point again, I would suggest that you will never know what you missed until you try it.
Great product. Excellent taste, quality, and effect. A real raw Puerh. Connoisseurs will appreciate and understand what we are talking about! 👌🙂
I'm very satisfied. 😊 I really liked this tea. It is very dense and long-playing. Great taste, and the aroma already guarantees the quality.! 💪One of my favorites.
Great product. High quality combined with a rich aroma, such a unique taste, and an unforgettable aftertaste provides you with an equally unforgettable experience. I recommend this tea! 🫖 that's what you need. An important clarification - do not abuse otherwise it will be difficult to fall asleep and you will have to move a lot... 😁👍
