This 2016 Guafengzhai raw pu-erh offers a bright and lively cup, showcasing distinct floral aromas with a clean, sweet character. Its nuanced complexity promises excellent development with further agi. It leans floral, sweet and complex.

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.
