After his very impressive Chang-an Ripe Pu-erh, Master Vesper Chan has come out with another great product. Red Sunset Ripe Pu-erh is produced with spring leaves from large arbor trees in Bulang Mountain. After undergoing fermentation, this tea was aged in Master Chan’s warehouse in Menghai for two years in order for the tea to settle before pressing into cakes.

Taste characteristics:
I tasted this tea for the first time in Master Chan's tea shop in Beijing. I was impressed by how flavorful and rich this tea was. After the two-year "resting" period, the initial pungency of the freshly fermented tea has been replaced with a thick, smooth, and clean texture that leaves a pleasant sweetness in your mouth and throat.

This tea is comprised of two compressed cakes of 190g (7 oz.) each.

A Great Addition to Bana

By Carolyn W
I tried this tea for the fist time in December 2022, and I loved it. An amazing tea for this price point. Great flavor, and you can steep it many times. You cannot go wring with this one!
