Summer Chenpi Pu-erh

This ripe pu-erh offers an earthy depth balanced by the bright, tangy notes of green mandarin peel. The citrus zest complements the pu-erh's natural sweetness, creating a refreshing and layered cup. It leans earthy, citrus and sweet.

Water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Rinse the leaves once with boiling water before your first real steep. It cleans off storage dust and gets the flavor going.

Grown in Guangdong, China. This batch is from the Summer 2017 harvest.

Starts at $25.00 from Bana Tea Company, or about $0.25/g. A 100g package gets you around 17 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.50 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
