Spring Raw Pu-erh (Other)

This aged Sheng Pu-erh from the Menghai area offers a deep, evolving character. Expect notes of damp earth and sweet wood, softened by years of careful storage. Its wild arbor origins hint at a comple. It leans earthy, woody and fruity.

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. This batch is from the Spring 2004 harvest.

Starts at $10.00 from NWPuerh, or about $0.31/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.86 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
