Spring Mengsong

This 2022 Spring Naka Sheng Pu-erh opens with a gentle yet distinct floral bitterness, which gracefully transitions into a captivating sweetness. A substantial body and a lingering, aromatic aftertast. It leans floral, sweet and full-bodied.

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 Yunnan, China. This batch is from the Spring 2022 harvest.

Starts at $15.99 from Crimson Lotus Tea, or about $0.67/g. A 20g package gets you around 3 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $4.02 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
