Spring Dark

This 2017 Sheng Pu-erh offers an assertive character with a delightful sweetness, balanced by a brisk finish. While robust enough to promise excellent aging potential, it can be enjoyed now, revealing. It leans bold, sweet and brisk.

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 2017 harvest.
