Ripe Pu-erh

This Shou Pu-erh offers a comforting and smooth experience, characterized by a clean, earthy foundation reminiscent of a damp forest floor. Creamy textures lead into delightful notes of marzipan and s. It leans earthy, creamy 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 Yunnan, China. This batch is from the 2023 harvest.

Starts at $44.99 from Crimson Lotus Tea, or about $4.50/g. A 10g package gets you around 2 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $27.00 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
