Spring Yiwu

This aged raw Pu-erh from the Youle mountain offers a deep, earthy aroma. On the palate, expect rich notes of damp forest floor and aged wood, evolving into a subtly sweet and complex finish. It leans earthy, woody and savory.

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 2005 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.
