Spring Yiwu

This young Sheng Pu-erh delivers an immediate, potent punch with pronounced bitterness and astringency upfront, characteristic of its 'strong rounian' processing. Expect a deep, robust profile that pr. It leans strong, bitter 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 2021 harvest.
