Aged Raw Puer Tea | Shunfeng Hao 顺丰号 Year 2008

The Purple Cane Group Celebrating its 33rd Anniversary in 2020 Presents Shunfeng Hao. Over the pass 33 years, Purple Cane has built an impressive lineup of premium teas in its Malaysian tea storage. It all began in 2008, which was the Year of Earth Rat. Leading up to our 33rd anniversary of the tea storage in 2020, we are launching the commemorative “Shunfeng Hao”.

The tea is made with fresh leaves of the broad-leaf varietal harvested from tea trees grown at high altitude in Lincang, Mengku, Yunnan Province, China. The pollution-free and ecologically-safe environment yields premium quality raw leaves, which have been sun-dried naturally, then steamed, shaped and compressed using the time-tested traditional method. The tea has been kept at Purple Cane‘s tea storage since spring, 2008.

Over time, “Shunfeng Hao” has aged wonderfully with a smooth, mellow mouthfeel and a rich, layered taste profile. One of the iconic teas from our “Malaysian Storage”, it celebrates the prevalence of tea and drinking in our times.

“Shunfeng Hao” is yet another proof of Purple Cane’s expertise in Malaysia tea storage.

Brewing Hints

Break off a well-sized portion of tea leaves from the tea cake, add to brewing vessel until ¼ filled. Pour in freshly boiled water at 85°C-95°C and drain the tea infusion immediately. 1st brew is not for drinking, the purpose is for the tea leaves to unfurl and moisten. This helps release the full flavour of tea for a satisfying brew.

For 2nd brew, refill the brewing vessel with about 30 Seconds to extract the full flavour. Pour and Serve. It is good for several brews. Re-steep the leaves in a similar manner to enjoy the tea as it develops from steep to steep; continue re-steeping until the leaves are exhausted of flavour.
