About This Tea
What does Mystic Tree Guardian taste like?
This vintage Shu Pu-erh unfolds with a deep, cavernous aroma of rich forest floor and antique woods. On the palate, it delivers a velvety smooth body, mingling notes of dark chocolate cake and Guinnes. It leans earthy, woody and sweet.
How should I brew Mystic Tree Guardian?
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.

How much does Mystic Tree Guardian cost?
