Spring Lincang

This 2007 raw Pu-erh offers a vibrant expression of the Mengku terroir, combining a nuanced fruity sweetness with a clean, earthy depth. Look for notes of dried stone fruit and damp forest floor, whic. It leans earthy, fruity and forest.

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 Spring 2007 harvest.

Starts at $2.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.09/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.54 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
