This aged raw Pu-erh from Xiaguan offers a developing complexity. Expect prominent earthy notes complemented by a pleasant dried fruit sweetness and a subtle forest floor aroma, hinting at its maturit. It leans earthy, fruity 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 2012 harvest.
