Lincang

This Puerh Raw Tea embodies a captivating dance of strength and grace, offering a smooth mellowness from ancient trees. Expect a rich, high-pitched floral fragrance with a distinct sweet, sugary note. It leans floral, sweet and mellow.

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 from the Gushu cultivar. This batch is from the 2025 harvest.

Starts at $4.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.12/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.72 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
