Factory Blend

A classic aged raw pu-erh, likely offering a developing profile with earthy undertones and a mellow, evolving sweetness that will deepen with further aging.

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 $4.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.01/g. A 500g package gets you around 83 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.06 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
