Ripe Pu-erh

This organic ripe Pu-erh offers a comforting and clean earthy aroma, truly inviting. The taste is distinctly sweet and remarkably soft, delivering a thick and moist mouthfeel that envelops the palate. It leans earthy, sweet and smooth.

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 from the Menghai Daye cultivar.

Starts at $25.51 from Teemaa, or about $0.26/g. A 100g package gets you around 17 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.56 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
