Factory Blend

This 2011 DaYi raw Pu-erh, living up to its name "The Older The Better," offers a journey into aged puerh complexity. Expect deep, earthy undertones, evolving into rich woody notes and a developing sw. It leans earthy, 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 2011 harvest.

Starts at $6.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.32/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.92 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
