This aged raw Pu-erh offers a deeply earthy and robust profile, with notes of damp forest floor and a subtle mineral complexity. The liquor is thick and smooth, developing a comforting sweetness and l. It leans earthy, robust 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 2011 harvest.
