Spring Yiwu

This dark from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This 2017 Yiwu Raw Pu-erh offers a gentle and inviting character, marked by a pronounced sweetness and a remarkably thick, comforting texture. Its smooth, calming infusion makes it enjoyable now, whil. It sits in the "Sweet" and "Smooth" and "Viscous" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans sweet and smooth and viscous.

Aim for water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). Western style: steep for 3–5 minutes in a mug or teapot. Gongfu style: use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ infusions) for multiple short steeps — this way you can taste how the flavor evolves. Give the leaves a quick rinse with boiling water before your first real steep — it wakes up the flavors and removes any storage dust.

This dark is grown in Yunnan, China. This particular batch comes from the Spring 2017 harvest.
