野放生プーアル 『松月』200g
2022 年春
製茶師：唐望
産地：雲南省景谷県

「松月」は雲南省景谷茶区の深山に樹齢百年以上の野放し喬木茶より。茶師・唐望とともに品質にこだわり仕上げた生普洱茶です。

春季、山中へ徒歩十数キロ分け入り、手摘みした新芽と若葉を、花蜜のような香気が漂い、葉質がしなやかになるまで静置萎凋。その後、鉄鍋で手炒りし、広げて休ませ、揉捻を経て天日乾燥に仕上げます。

人跡稀な山域では、鳥の囀りと松涛の響きのみが耳に届きます。大きく枝を広げた思茅松（スマオマツ）の下に、悠然と佇む百年茶樹。その茶韻は、明月の光のごとく澄みわたり、産地や品種の枠を超えて「松月」と名付けられました。

景谷茶区の普洱茶は、苦渋味が控えめで、香りは温潤、花蜜の甘香が特徴です。口当たりはやわらかく滑らかで、明確な甘みが広がり、回甘・生津は迅速かつ持続的。 この茶葉は年月を重ねることで、味わいの厚みが増し、 将来的には、風格ある深みに変化していくことが期待できそうです。

Wild Raw Pu-erh “Song Yue”(Pine & Moon) 200g
2022 Spring
Origin: Jinggu, Yunnan

This tea was crafted by tea maker Tang Wang from wild-grown tea trees over one hundred years old, deep within the mountains of Jinggu.

Each spring, the harvest requires a long trek into remote forested terrain where ancient tea trees grow beneath towering Simao pine trees. Fresh buds and young leaves are picked by hand, then gently withered until floral, honey-like aromas emerge and the leaves become supple. The tea is traditionally processed through hand-firing in iron woks, rolling, and sun-drying.

The name Song Yue (Pine & Moon) was inspired by this landscape — ancient tea trees standing quietly beneath old pine forests, in mountains where only birdsong and the sound of wind through the pines accompany the harvest.

Jinggu raw pu-erh is known for its gentle character and aromatic sweetness. Compared with many other young pu-erhs, bitterness and astringency are relatively restrained. The liquor is soft and silky, opening with clear honeyed sweetness, followed by lingering hui gan and persistent sheng jin.

With time, the tea is expected to gain greater depth, texture, and complexity, gradually developing the character and elegance that make aged pu-erh so highly regarded.
