Heng Tong Hao shu puer (熟普洱) – Menghai style, silky sweet - 2019

Heng Tong Hao (恒桐号) is a small workshop in Yunnan that has been reliably producing shu (ripe) puer teas for years, mainly from ingredients from the Menghai and Xishuangbanna areas. The essence of the style is a silky texture, clean fermentation, and a friendly, sweet taste - and this batch delivers that.

Short

Origin: Menghai (Xishuangbanna), Yunnan
Producer: Heng Tong Hao (恒桐号)
Style: shu puer pressed from aged/matured raw materials, smooth with a barely noticeable “wo dui” aftertaste
Flavor profile: prunes and dates, delicate molasses, cocoa-woody notes; creamy mouthfeel, sweet-mineral aftertaste

Processing & maturation

Shu puer owes its dark, velvety character to a controlled post-fermentation period of 40–50 days . Heng Tong Hao often presses partially pre-aged (several years) raw materials, which gives a cleaner, rounder taste and reduces the fresh “wo dui” effect.

Detailed flavor notes

Aroma: wet forest litter, fresh rain (petrichor), light cocoa powder.
Taste: thick, creamy body; dried fruits (plums, dates), light molasses, soft woody-cedar tones.
Finish: long, sweet, clean and soothing; stable over multiple pours.

Preparation suggestion

Asian (gongfu)

5–6 g tea / 100 ml
98–100 °C water, quick rinse (2×), then first pour 10–15 sec.
10–12 pours, gradually increase the time

Western (teapot)

3g / 250ml
95–100 °C, 2–3 minutes; 2–3 pours

Cold brew

8–10 g / 1 liter of cold water
Refrigerate for 6–8 hours, then filter; silky, low-caffeine drink

Tip

When tasting for the first time, don't be afraid to make several short infusions – the tea layers nicely.
It pairs well with dark chocolate or lightly spiced, nutty desserts.

Note: different vintages and blends of Heng Tong Hao (gong ting, multi-stage blends) may show slight stylistic differences, but the above character and clean, silky sipping feel are the common denominator.

Personal contact

Our teas don't come from wholesale warehouses or unknown sources. We travel to the small producers we source from – whether it's a Japanese family tea garden, a Chinese mountain village or an oolong maker in Taiwan.

Stories

We meet them in person, learn their story, see how they care for their plants, and how they process the fresh leaves.
These experiences are the soul of our teas. This way, not only is the quality guaranteed, but also the fact that behind each cup there is a real person, a real story.

Direct

This direct relationship is valuable to us. Not only because of the excellent tea, but because we believe that trust, respect and personal presence are what make the tea drinking experience truly special.
