Purple Pu-erh

This unique Purple Sheng Pu-erh offers a complex bouquet featuring bright fruity and nutty notes intertwined with a delicate herbaceous spiciness. The liquor is dense and oily, presenting a sweetish t. It leans fruity, nutty and spicy.

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 Zijuan (tea) cultivar. This batch is from the 2022 harvest.
