Spring Nannuo

This 2013 Nannuo Sheng Pu-erh, crafted from high-altitude old arbor trees, presents a lively and evolving profile. Expect an initial briskness that gracefully transitions into a nuanced sweetness, und. It leans floral, sweet and woody.

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 2013 harvest.

Starts at $7.50 from NWPuerh, or about $0.35/g. A 15g package gets you around 3 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.10 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
