Playing with Fire — roasted in bamboo over mountain flame
This tea’s been through something
Pressed into bamboo tubes and slow-roasted over an open flame in the mountain villages of Nam Giang, this rare Sheng Pu’er-style tea transforms as it rests. The bamboo shell infuses it with subtle sweetness, smoke, and the quiet wisdom of trees
The flavor starts bright—grassy, floral, full of life—then deepens into soft wood, wild herbs, and caramelized sugar. Earthy, rustic, and a little wild, this tea doesn’t just steep… it evolves
Perfect for those who love a slow burn, a deep cup, and a little flavor drama. Let it change you—just a little
