Ripe Pu-erh

This ripe pu-erh offers a deeply satisfying and grounding experience. Expect rich, earthy notes reminiscent of damp forest floor and aged wood, complemented by a smooth, comforting body and a lingerin. It leans earthy, woody and smooth.

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 2022 harvest.

Starts at $2.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.08/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.48 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
