Pu'er Resin Tasting Set

四味普洱 · The Pu'er Tasting Set

Four expressions of one leaf, held in time.

What's Inside

A curated set of 6 freeze-dried pu'er resin pieces (茶膏) — four expressions of. Tea resin is the Qing imperial form of pu'er: a long, slow extraction concentrated into a single dissolvable piece. We hold ours at –60°C (–76°F) to keep the aromatics, body, and 氣 intact.

You'll receive four expressions:

Original Ripe Pu'er · 原味熟普 (1) — Pure Menghai shou. Earthy, velvety, grounding. The leaf in its truest form.

Ripe Pu'er + Aged Orange Peel · 陳皮熟普 (1) · — Ripe Pu'er lifted with aged orange peel (陳皮). Citrus clarity over a deep, settled base.

Rose Ripe Pu'er · 玫瑰熟普 (2)— Ripe Pu'er scented with rose. Floral warmth, soft and round.

Jasmine Raw Pu'er ·  茉莉生普 — Raw scented with jasmine. Bright, fresh, vegetal — the cooler, younger end of the spectrum.

Each dissolves instantly in cold, hot, or sparkling water. No steeping, no equipment.

A Map of One Leaf

This set moves along two lines at once.

Across time — from raw (生) to ripe (熟). The jasmine raw Pu'er is young and bright; the ripe Pu'er expressions are settled and deep. You taste what fermentation and years do to the same plant.

Across scent — from pure to floral to citrus. Original gives you pu'er unadorned; rose, jasmine, and chenpi each open a different facet of it.

Four pieces, four moods — a complete tasting in something that fits in a pocket.

The Resin Difference

Tea resin isn't instant tea. Freeze-drying at –60°C:

• Holds every aromatic oil — the rose, the jasmine, the purist, the aged citrus
• Captures the full body of a long, traditional steep
• Keeps the leaf's character stable for months
• Dissolves clean, with nothing left behind

This is tea held in time — 以時為料.

How It Feels

Original grounds you. Aged orange peel opens the breath. Rose softens. Jasmine clears.
A quiet ritual you can carry anywhere.
