Thea Placida • Yunnan Bold
Round, layered, and velvety. A pu'er from Yunnan as a still beverage.
The Yunnan Bold is crafted from a Menghai Sheng Tai, a wild pu'er grown at 800 m in the forests of Xishuangbanna — the ancestral birthplace of tea. An earthy, woody depth that evokes aged fine wines, without a drop of alcohol.

Inspired by the Mizudashi method, we combine hot and cold infusions to reveal the natural structure of tea. Depth, balance, length on the palate.
