Heavy Roast Ripe Pu-erh

This dark from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This distinctive ripe Pu-erh presents an enticing balance of natural sweetness with the bright, fragrant notes imparted by its unique bamboo processing. It delivers a thick body and a deeply warming c. It sits in the "Sweet" and "Warming" and "Woody" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans sweet and warming and woody.

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 2018 harvest. After picking, the leaves received a heavy roast, which shapes the final flavor.
