Chen Xiang translates to "deepening fragrance". This tea has aged to achieve the "Chen Xiang" sought after by Pu-erh connoisseurs. Its mellow, smooth, aged ripe Pu-erh flavor is not only satisfying to the palate and soothing to the stomach, it is also calming to the soul. Drink it after a meal or whenever you feel overwhelmed.

Do you have a caffein-free product option?
Sorry. We do not have a caffeine-free option.
If you like pu-erh with no rough edges, just flavor, this is the best price to quality ratio I have yet found. I will now drink more tea than ever before. Five stars rating considers value. Probably has a bit less body than more expensive teas (i.e. 2x price and above).
Thank you for your honest and accurate review of this tea. Also glad to hear you are drinking more tea.
A delightful and light tea, as well as a great value for its vintage. This is a very smooth and clean tea that still has a bit of an earthy edge that I love in a pu-erh. The broth is beautiful and sustains its flavor across brews longer than some other aged batches have for me. It makes for a particularly good tea when the day has slipped away and I'm sitting down for tea later than usual.
Yes, this is a classic aged ripe pu-erh collected by my tea master.
I love this tea and the ritual of brewing it as instructed, then pouring it gently into a small Chinese cup, sipping it slowly one cup at the time, welcoming a new day. This tea and the ritual are both calming and energizing. It has been my morning routine for a few weeks now, and I just ordered a new package of this tea..
So glad to hear you are enjoying the tea ritual. It is not only good for our body, but for our soul as well.
Ah, this is a smooth, savory, aged ripe pu'er. Nice and mellow. Great value for the price.
There is no other tea that can be compared to aged pu-erh.

Hi Julianne, thank you so much for your kind words. It is my privilege to serve you. I am so glad our teas met your high expectations.
Really like this tea. I usually drink pu-erh in the morning.But because of the mild caffeine content I brew Chen XiangIn the afternoon. I sip and enjoy.
