Raw Pu-erh (Other)

This dark from China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This raw Pu-erh blend offers a delightfully sweet and thick body, complemented by a pronounced fruity floral fragrance that fills the palate. Expect a lively, bitey astringency in its youth, which pro. It sits in the "Sweet" and "Fruity" and "Floral" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans sweet and fruity and floral.

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 China. This particular batch comes from the 2018 harvest.

Prices start at $18.00 through white2tea — that works out to about $0.61 per gram. A 25g package gives you roughly 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $3.66. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
