{"product_id":"big-leaf-medicine","title":"Big Leaf Medicine","description":"\u003cp\u003eHuang pian—the larger, coarser leaves set aside during processing—doesn’t carry the prestige of celebrated aged sheng puerh. The big leaves were set aside and time was left to work the magic.\u003cbr\u003eThis brick, pressed sometime in the 80s or 90s from big-leaf material, has spent decades naturally\u003cbr\u003efermenting. The brew runs copper-red. The taste is mellow and rounded: dried fruit, dates, a touch of caramel up front, then aged wood and camphor, with a subtle herbal note that never sharpens into bitterness. The finish is long and warming, with a gentle huigan and a woody-sweet aftertaste.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLower in catechins than finer material, huang pian aged this long is notably smooth. It’s easy on the body and the mind. The qi is centering and calming. A good afternoon tea, and a good tea for those who find strong puerh qi too much. Unpretentious, sweet, woodsy, deeply mellowed. A tea drinker’s tea. It’s relaxing and sweet, a nice counterbalance to the zippy high energy of the summer season, as we begin slowing down in the autumn. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Living Tea","offers":[{"title":"70g","offer_id":43635116933187,"sku":"tea.bigleafmedicine70g","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g Brick","offer_id":43635116965955,"sku":"tea.bigleafmedicine250g","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0153\/1085\/files\/4e5dcd3c-3042-45d1-b5b3-4573dff51776.jpg?v=1785973235","url":"https:\/\/www.livingtea.net\/products\/big-leaf-medicine","provider":"Living Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
