Factory Blend

This aged 2003 Xiaguan "Te Ji" Sheng Pu-erh offers a grounding experience with deep, earthy notes reminiscent of damp forest floor and aged wood. Expect a robust body and a long, satisfying finish tha. It leans earthy, woody and umami.

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 $9.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.90/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $5.40 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
