Spring Yiwu

This aged Yiwu Sheng Pu-erh offers a captivating depth, evolving with subtle notes of aged wood, damp earth, and hints of dried fruit. The 'gu shu' material provides a robust body and a lingering fini. It leans aged, complex and deep.

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 2014 harvest.

Starts at $14.00 from NWPuerh, or about $1.19/g. A 10g package gets you around 2 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $7.14 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
