Factory Blend

This 2014 raw Pu-erh from Xiaguan presents a robust and developing character. Expect a grounded profile with hints of damp earth and seasoned wood, underpinned by a subtle, evolving sweetness that pro. 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 2014 harvest.

Starts at $17.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.24/g. A 30g package gets you around 5 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.44 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
