By the Yuan Dynasty it became a cultivar reserved for the Imperial Tea Garden, cherished for its distinctive milky fragrance. The name Shiru comes from the cliff inscription “Shiru Liuxiang,” describing the lingering aroma created by leaves growing in mineral rich rock crevices. Our April harvest from Chengdun carries this heritage clearly. As I work with the leaves during processing, I can feel the cultivar’s gentle character and natural fragrance expressing itself with every roast cycle. It is a refined, elegant Yancha that fits beautifully with the spring season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAroma and Flavour\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Shiru opens with a sweet floral honey scent. Once brewed, the fragrance evolves into layered milk and fruit notes that linger long after the cup cools. The first sip carries a lively rocky edge which quickly softens into sweetness, finishing with a clear, refreshing aftertaste that encourages salivation. The liquor glows orange red, smooth yet vibrant, holding true to its historic character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Floral honey, warm milk, soft fruit tones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlavor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rocky brightness shifting into rounded sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTexture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth, lively, lightly creamy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAftertaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, lingering, with strong returning salivation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteeping Endurance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 to 9 infusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing Guidelines\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGong Fu Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeaware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zhuni 朱泥 or Zini 紫泥 Yixing teapot to deepen sweetness and structure, or a porcelain gaiwan for clarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRatio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 to 7 g per 100 ml water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95 to 100°C low TDS spring water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInfusions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Quick rinse, then steep 5 to 7 seconds, increasing gradually each round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWestern Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTeaware:\u003c\/strong\u003e Porcelain or glass teapot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRatio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 4 g per 250 ml water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e 95°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteeping:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 3 minutes for the first infusion, with 2 to 3 resteeps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose This Tea\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShiru is a rare and historic Wuyi cultivar with a lineage stretching back to the Song and Yuan dynasties.
