Factory Blend

This 2009 Sheng Pu-erh offers a journey of evolving flavors. Expect an initial lively briskness, soon mellowing into notes of dried fruits and a hint of forest floor. As it ages, its complexity will c. It leans fruity, woody and sweet.

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 2009 harvest.

Starts at $23.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.36/g. A 30g package gets you around 5 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.16 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
