Song of Orpheus

White Lotus Shou Puerh 2007
$160.00
Size250g Brick

Utterly clear, intensely dark, and exceptionally clean, this is exactly how we want ripe puerh to taste. The full name of this tea is "Golden Needle White Lotus," after the golden needles of the many leaf buds present in this recipe. The infusion is deep red and bright, and the aroma is rich. This tea was stored with a lot of good, old shen gpuerh, and we believe that the storage brought all the flavors together nicely. The flavors are balanced with an elegant sweetness, and no mustiness.

Origin: Bulang Mountain, Menghai County, Yunnan, China 2007

From the 2023 Autumn Seasonal Tea Club

Living Teas can be steeped many times. Enjoy small cups of tea, re-steeping the same leaves, rather than making a large pot or mug all at once.

· 4-6 grams of tea (approx. 1-2 teaspoons)
· 210°F water (near boiling)
· 4-5 seconds first steeping, then lengthening a few seconds with each brew

Song of Orpheus comes from the treasured Dayi shou puerh collection. "Dayi" means "great benefit," which is meant to point out the great benefit that tea has on the body, the spirit, and human relationships.

Benefits of Puerh Tea

For thousands of years, Puerh has been the best multi-functional beverage you've never heard of.

Stress Relief

Puerh tea contains the phyto-chemicals GABA and theanine, which have been attributed to lower stress levels. These phyto-chemicals increase the production of melatonin, which can aid in better sleep and a calmer demeanor throughout the day.

Calm Energy

Thanks to the caffeine in Puerh tea, drinking a cup a day can help to increase your energy levels and focus. Every 8-ounce cup of Puerh contains about 60 to 70 milligrams of caffeine, and the naturally-occurring polyphenols in tea slow the release of caffeine in the body. (Read: No 2pm crash.) Compared to the 105 milligrams in a standard cup of coffee, this makes Puerh a good choice for people who find themselves too jittery after just one cup of coffee.

Increased Immunity

Puerh tea is high in antioxidants, vitamin C, and disease-fighting
catechins. Since Puerh is fermented, it has higher concentrations of these antioxidants than non-fermented teas, supporting your body's ability to maintain high levels of immunity and overall well-being.

Reduced Inflammation

Puerh contains high levels of polyphenols (flavonoids, catechins and theaflavin), which are not only known for their antioxidant activity, but their anti-inflammatory properties as well.

Healthy Gut Microbiome

Because Puerh is fermented, it contains probiotics that when consumed regularly, contribute to a balanced and robust gastrointestinal (GI) system. By regularly drinking Puerh tea, you can help maintain healthy flora throughout your digestive system.
