2010 Gushu Daye Shu Tea (Ripe Puer Tea)

2010 Gushu Daye Shu Puer Tea

Crafted from the precious leaves of ancient large-leaf Yunnan tea trees, this 15-Year Gushu Daye Shu represents the very best of aged Puer craftsmanship. These ancient tea trees, often over 100 years old, grow deep in the mountains of Xishuangbanna, Puer, and Lincang, producing leaves rich in character, strength, and complexity.

The dry leaves show tight, neat strips covered with fine white fuzz, a hallmark of high-quality mature material. After 15 years of natural ageing, the tea has developed a deep, layered aroma featuring notes of aged fragrance, wood, and warm earthiness.

Due to the scarcity of ancient-tree raw material, combined with its excellent ageing performance, this tea holds significant collection value while also offering an exceptionally smooth drinking experience.
