Pressing our new cakes in Menghai the last few days. Shou Puer cakes are usually pressed with a hydraulic press in order for the cake to have enough pressure to stick together. Even with the aid of the machine, it is still a process that requires at least a three person team. Measuring the tea, steaming the tea, transferring it to the cloth bag, pressing and stacking the tea all takes time. We try to oversee our tea processing as much as possible in order to ensure quality processing and pressing. Next time you take a sip of Puer consider that many people contributed to your tea experience. #white2tea #shu #shou #ripe #ripePuer #ripePuerh #puercha #puerhaddict #puerhcha #looseleaftea #looseleaf #gongfu #gongfutea #gongfucha #teasnob #teasnobs #teaaddiction #teaddicted #teaddict #qualitytea #teapotlover #cookedPuer #cookedPuerh #shuPuerh #shouPuerh #shuPuer #shouPuerh (at Menghai)

A tea shop and market just outside Menghai, Yunnan, China. Menghai is one of the most important Pu Erh production area in all of Yunnan and it is surrounded by many famous tea mountains. For lovers of Pu Erh this is as important an area as any in China. Menghai is also the home of a very famous tea factory. The Menghai Tea Factory was founded in 1940 and is located in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China. The factory was originally called The Fo Hai Tea Factory but changed its name to Menghai Tea Factory in 1953. It is credited as being one of the first two factories to make "ripe" AKA Shou Pu Erh tea in 1973 (the other factory was The Kunming Tea Factory). Shou Cha, AKA ripe or cooked Pu Erh is specially processed to imitate aged raw or Sheng Pu Erh tea. The process does not actually employ cooking to convert Sheng Cha into ripened Pu Erh. It creates conditions to approximate the result of the aging process by prolonged bacterial and fungal fermentation in a warm humid environment under controlled conditions using a technique called Wo Dui, AKA wet piling which involves piling, dampening, and turning the tea leaves in a manner much akin to composting. The finished Shou Pu Erh is then pressed into various size bricks, cakes, or other assorted shapes for storage and further aging. #thehappyteaman #menghai #menghaiteafactory #wodui #sheng #shou #xishuangbanna #fermented #postfermented #puerhtea #kunmingteafactory #outdoormarket #ripepuerh #cookedpuerh #rawpuerh #teaproduction (at Menghai)

Our first test pressing of an aged chenpi and shu Puer mini cake. Pressed ripe Puer tea and aged orange peels make for a soothing combination. We sourced the aged orange peels ourselves from Xinhui in Guangdong province earlier this year and the ripe Puer is a white2tea blend made this autumn in Yunnan. A long time in the making! The final mini cake will be flatter and thinner than this early test with a slightly adjusted blend #white2tea #littleO #ChenPi #XinHui #shu #shou #ripe #ripePuer #ripePuerh #puercha #puerhaddict #puerhcha #looseleaftea #looseleaf #gongfu #gongfutea #gongfucha #teasnob #teasnobs #teaaddiction #teaddicted #teaddict #qualitytea #teapotlover #cookedPuer #cookedPuerh #shuPuerh #shouPuerh #shuPuer #shouPuerh

Ruyao glazes craze with use, leaving a crackled pattern behind from the teas you steep. Darker teas like ripe Puer will help ruyao craze more clearly, like this sea foam green standard ruyao gaiwan from #teawarehouse #shu #shou #ripe #ripePuer #ripePuerh #puercha #puerhaddict #puerhcha #looseleaftea #looseleaf #gongfu #gongfutea #gongfucha #teasnob #teasnobs #teaaddiction #teaddicted #teaddict #qualitytea #teapotlover #cookedPuer #cookedPuerh #shuPuerh #shouPuerh #shuPuer #shouPuerh #ruyao
