Factory Blend

This aged raw Pu-erh from XiaGuan offers a robust and earthy character, with deep woody undertones that speak of its vintage. Expect a complex journey as it mellows and unfolds with each infusion, rev. 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 2004 harvest.
