Factory Blend

This 2003 Special Grade Tuocha offers a journey into aged raw Pu-erh, presenting a deep earthy foundation with hints of ancient wood and a subtle, evolving sweetness. Its character is robust yet refin. It leans earthy, woody and complex.

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 $0.38/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.28 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
