2 servings

15 minutes

Sheng pu-erh with lemongrass and birch leaves is an unusual blend of Chinese tea tradition with herbal notes of freshness. Sheng pu-erh, known for its astringency and deep aroma, gains brightness from lemongrass and sweet woody softness from birch leaves in this recipe. The taste is balanced: rich, slightly honeyed, with citrus undertones and a light refreshing bitterness. This drink is perfect for summer evenings when you want to invigorate and enjoy a complex yet harmonious flavor.
