Factory Blend

This aged raw Pu-erh from XiaGuan presents a journey into the depths of a classic factory blend. Expect a robust, complex profile featuring prominent earthy notes, a subtle minerality, and hints of dr. It leans earthy, mineral and deep.

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 2003 harvest.

Starts at $5.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.26/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.56 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
