Spring Mengsong

This 2012 raw Pu-erh delivers a robust and layered experience. Expect a strong, assertive character with developing earthy notes, hints of fruit, and a pleasant minerality that defines its wild arbor . It leans earthy, fruity and complex.

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 2012 harvest.

Starts at $8.75 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.
