Factory Blend

This aged factory blend raw Pu-erh offers a robust character with evolving depth. Expect an initial briskness that mellows into earthy and woody undertones, hinting at its potential for further aging. It leans earthy, astringent and deep.

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 2010 harvest.

Starts at $19.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.25/g. A 30g package gets you around 5 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.50 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
