Yiwu

This Yiwu blend raw Pu-erh offers profound complexity, hinting at forest floor and dried fruit, alongside a wonderfully smooth mouthfeel. It possesses a surprising underlying strength that speaks to i. It leans earthy, complex 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. This batch is from the 2018 harvest.
