Forgotten Legends 2018 y.o Shu Puer Tea Gun Tin

Forgotten Legends 2018 Shu Puer (熟普洱茶) is a ripe puer tea crafted in Xishuangbanna, the heart of Yunnan Province, China, where ancient tea trees grow among misty mountains and fertile red soil.
This 2018 vintage embodies the soul of aged puer — deep, earthy, and meditative, carrying the wisdom of time and the legacy of traditional fermentation.

Part of the Forgotten Legends series, this tea represents rare and memorable batches, each with a distinctive energy and smoothness that reflect the mastery of Yunnan tea artisans.
Fermented through the Wo Dui (渥堆) process, it develops mellow notes of wood, cacao, and dried fruit, offering a comforting, grounded experience.
