Factory Blend

This aged Sheng Pu-erh unfurls with deep, earthy undertones characteristic of its vintage. Expect a rich, woody essence intertwined with a subtle, mellow sweetness, culminating in a smooth, resonant f. It leans earthy, woody 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 China. This batch is from the 2004 harvest.
