What does Grand Master Ripe taste like?
This 2010 Ripe Pu-erh offers a remarkably smooth and thick liquor, exuding comforting notes of dark toffee, bourbon caramel, and chocolate-covered prunes. Subtle hints of suede and a fresh anise finis. It leans earthy, chocolate and caramel.
How should I brew Grand Master Ripe?
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.
