Raw Pu-erh (Other)

This dark from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This raw Pu-erh presents a harmonious balance of youthful astringency and inherent sweetness. Unique bamboo roasting infuses the tea with a distinct fragrance and a hint of smoky character. It brews i. It sits in the "Sweet" and "Fragrant" and "Thick" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans sweet and fragrant and thick.

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 and is made from the Huanpian cultivar. This particular batch comes from the 2018 harvest.
