The Hanuman Project Special Edition Wild Tree Ye Sheng Purple Tea Cake "Purple Ram"

We are releasing this collaborative art tea that I had pressed myself from one of the most life changing Teas in my journey- from this high altitude garden in Western Yunnan province.

The tea is growing in a wild forest ecosystem and the trees are around 100-300 years old. Nothing crazy, but you can taste the clean environment in this tea.

The tea was silky today and it was great the whole band got to share a pot.

Our new flautist Joe, also a wine sommelier, had many comments such as blueberry pie, peach apricot lychee, milky buttery.

The band loved it, and I love this tea because of it's unique dreamy energy.

I've served this tea to hundreds of people in ceremonies and have witnessed deep meditations, emotion releases and have had them myself. It's got a very yin signature.

We made a pretty limited run of this, only 125 cakes (30kg) and decided to keep it a limited art run. Perhaps we will do more on the future, though the trade policies in the USA is making it impossible to replicate unless things change.

@sarasvati.dasi made the artwork, @hanumanpavanji had a hand in some poetry, and I selected the tea for pressing.

Cakes are now officially available on the website, and we don't expect them to last long- especially once they reach the hanuman project's audience.

I wanted to be the first to share with Puerh Medicine friends. Enjoy!

About the Tea:

Purple Ram is a rare gem, brilliant in every way, from the most obvious flavor, texture and aroma, to the most subtle aspects found deep in meditation and ceremony.

The chi is deep, stilling, and opens space for dreamlike experiences.  It has a calming, yin energy that can shatter the illusion of time and open doorways to the subconscious.  We have witnessed emotional healings happening often in ceremony with this tea, as well as many "A-ha!", awe, and moments of spontaneous wonder.

This tea boasts a rich, thick fruity and floral liquor that commands the senses and holds for many steepings. Notes of peach, lychee, and "purple" flavors are present.

Ultimately, how deeply you show up for this tea is how deeply this tea will show up for you.  Leave your expectations at the door, take a moment to put the world aside, and drop into an open state of listening and receptivity. This tea will definitely help you become deeply present.

This tea is Matthew's #1 pick for sharing with groups in ceremonies.
