Ripe Pu-erh

This aged Ripe Pu-erh offers a deeply satisfying and smooth experience. Expect rich, earthy notes reminiscent of damp forest floor, accompanied by hints of dark wood and a subtle, lingering sweetness. It leans earthy, smooth and deep.

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 2018 harvest.

Starts at $2.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.26/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.56 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
