Autumn’s Echo Ripe (Shou) Pu-erh | Yunnan, China | 2023

Introducing Autumn’s Echo, the twin brother of Spring's Awakening: same leaves, different processes. While Spring's Awakening is crafted into Raw Pu-erh (Sheng), Autumn’s Echo undergoes the traditional wet piling fermentation, where natural bacteria and microorganisms inherent in the leaves, air, and water of Yunnan transform the leaves over a period of one month. This process darkens the tea from golden to deep earthy tones, turning its sharp, grassy notes into smooth, malty, and soothing flavors. Traditionally, Ripe (Shou) Pu-erh was often made from lower-quality leaves, but today, skilled producers create premium Ripe Pu-erh from fine leaves, offering a drinkable tea that doesn't require decades of aging like Raw Pu-erh does.]
We are happy to guarantee that Autumn’s Echo is entirely fermented using naturally occurring bacteria and microorganisms, without the use of any lab created bacterial strains. This requires each batch to be carefully fermented in an completely clean environment to ensure that the right kinds of bacteria and microorganisms can flourish!
