Vendor Notes
This raw Pu-erh offers an intense, mineral-rich experience. Initially, it greets the senses with fresh petrichore and light floral notes, quickly evolving into a robust profile of rock salt, dried kelp, and juniper. Expect a full-bodied, oily mouthfeel with a distinctive bow wave of bitterness that recedes to reveal lingering mineral afterthoughts and a unique, honey-like sweetness in the empty cup.

About This Tea
What does Old Salt Orb taste like?
This raw Pu-erh offers an intense, mineral-rich experience. Initially, it greets the senses with fresh petrichore and light floral notes, quickly evolving into a robust profile of rock salt, dried kel. It leans mineral, earthy and brisk.
How should I brew Old Salt Orb?
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.
