Ripe Pu-erh

This seasoned Shou Pu-erh brick offers a deeply comforting and smooth experience. Expect rich, earthy notes with hints of dark wood and a pleasant sweetness, unfolding into a mellow and satisfying fin. It leans earthy, smooth and rich.

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 from the Huang Gan cultivar. This batch is from the 2014 harvest.
