Discover the sweet and tart taste of Tè Puer Sheng GABA GAPU Grade P: this is a wide-leaved variety of GABA, a special tea processed in an oxygen-free environment which develops gamma-aminobutyric acid, a great ally against stress and high blood pressure. Each cup is a surprise of flavors, ranging from the most sour red fruits to balsamic and sweet notes. The leaves of this tea, grown and harvested in Myanmar and then processed according to Taiwanese techniques, come from the Assamica cultivar of Camellia Sinensis. The large rolled leaves of Tè Puer Sheng GAPU Grade P display varied shades, from copper brown to black, with many golden buds. Even before being soaked, they emit sweet hints of pipe tobacco and vaguely fruity notes. Once infused, we can perceive a balsamic aroma of wood and bark that almost resembles eucalyptus, alongside fruity notes of plum. The liquor is amber in color and the body of this tea reveals medium thickness, rounded and enveloping. The astringency is light and perfectly balanced with the sweet notes. A complex and elegant tea, with highly relaxing properties and surprising taste. The first infusion of Tè Puer Sheng GAPU Grade P gives a liquor that is simultaneously sweet and sour, with hints of currant and plum. Delicate wood notes emerge, vaguely balsamic, reminiscent of eucalyptus and camphor. With the second infusion, we find hints of cooked fruit and compote of red fruits: the sweet taste tends to prevail over the tart. The third infusion highlights the balsamic hints, as well as the woody notes and the acidity of the fruit, perfectly balanced by the sweetness and smoothness of the liquor. A first sip of Tè Puer Sheng GAPU Grade P brings gentle notes of slightly balsamic wood with it. The taste is sweet and reminiscent of cooked fruit and plum juice, with a pleasant well-balanced acidity that cleanses the palate. There are hints of red fruits, such as currants and raspberries, and in the finish some spicy notes also emerge. The persistence is long and fruity, with a good balance between tart and sweet. Preparation: we recommend infusing this Tè Puer Sheng GAPU Grade P using the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a gaiwan of about 150 ml capacity. Following this preparation, with 5 grams of leaves, multiple infusions can be made to capture the tea's flavor nuances at their best. Heat the water to 90°C and proceed with a first infusion of 15 seconds. Keeping the water at the same temperature, you can continue to utilize the same leaves, adding more water and increasing the infusion time by 5 seconds each time (15 - 20 - 25...). This tea has a longevity of about 8-9 infusions. For a more classic preparation in the Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves in a 200 ml cup with 90°C water for an infusion time of 3 minutes. For a better tasting experience, we suggest filtering the tea right after the infusion time ends. Infusion times can be slightly modified to achieve a more or less intense taste. It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
