Factory Blend

This young raw Pu-erh offers a bright and lively character, typical of its age. Expect notes of fresh hay and green grass, complemented by a clean, invigorating astringency that evolves into a lingeri. It leans grassy, astringent 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 2019 harvest.

Starts at $5.59 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.01/g. A 500g package gets you around 83 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.06 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
