Factory Blend

This young raw Pu-erh from Xiaguan offers a bold and brisk character typical of its origin. Expect a vibrant, slightly vegetal profile with a hint of smokiness, leading to a lingering, refreshing afte. It leans brisk, grassy and woody.

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 2021 harvest.

Starts at $7.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.08/g. A 100g package gets you around 17 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.48 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
