Tea for the people.
Our Angel's Nests are little 5-gram balls of compressed ripe (shou) pu'er tea from Yunnan, China, the birthplace of pu'er itself. Known in Chinese as mini tuo cha, each one is a perfectly portioned, ready-to-brew nest of aged 2008 pu'er.
Smooth, silky, and deeply earthy. Ripe pu'er is fermented to mellow out the bitterness of green tea. What's left pours a beautiful red liquor that's friendly to first-timers and rewarding for seasoned drinkers.

Brew it. Share it. Pass it on.
I was a little unsure of what to expect when I first ordered Angel's Nest to try. As soon as I made my first teapot I quickly ordered more so I would always have it on hand. I very rarely give 5 star ratings on anything but Angel's Nest is so enjoyable to drink and has a very nice finish that it quickly earned a spot in my top 5 favorite teas. That is an impressive feat given I have tried literally hundreds. I love the mini tou cha form too. It is a convenient way to carry it and is a great conversation starter for those I introduce to loose leaf tea at the local STEM center. If you like Shou Pu'er, you will like Angel's Nest. If you have never given Pu'er tea a chance, I recommend you try Angel's Nest as an introduction to Shou Pu'er tea.
This is my first time trying an aged ripe pu'er, and this was a pleasant experience. The first few steeps had a nice sweetness that mellow out with additional steeps. Later steeps gain a dryness quality, like red wine.
While I'm not experienced with aged pu'er, I'm looking forward to continuing with this tea.
Angels nest is SO GOOD!
The hui gan is incredible, well rounded tea, long lasting aftertaste that lingers forever indicating its quality, empty cup is sweet and the cha qi is amazing! very grounding, yet energising, no peakiness at all, calming, happiness and focus.
Felt warm and complete, like being in an angels nest.
Great tea bought to try and definitely will be buying more
The compressed puck released by the first steep, after initial wash easily got 5-6 sessions or more depending on your preference, that evolved from a dark rich coffee like colour with frosty white swirls that danced on top of a the first few steeps then to to a vibrant clear amber liqueur that is silky smooth and earthy with No bitterness or off putting fishy smells. Comforting mouth feel and enjoyable after taste.
Great experience from a beginner to quality tea, a rehabilitated tea bagger No Longer drinking shake
