Vendor Notes
This sampler offers two distinct expressions of Mapo green tea. The "Premium Mapo" delivers a rich umami, savory sweetness, and a creamy, thick mouthfeel. In contrast, the "Mapo Spice" provides a unique, numbing astringency reminiscent of Sichuan peppercorn, with brisk hints of raw grass and white pepper.

How should I brew Grinch Broth?
Water around 70–80 °C (158–176 °F). In a mug, steep 2–3 min. For gongfu, use 3–5 g per 100 ml, 15–30 s steeps. You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. The biggest mistake with green tea is using boiling water. Keep it well below that and you won't get bitterness.
