Raw Pu-erh (Other)

This dark from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This raw Pu-erh offers a journey of flavors, smoothed by a significant blend of aged material. Expect a punchy and full-bodied cup with an intense, lingering sweetness. It's an engaging tea with plent. It sits in the "Earthy" and "Sweet" and "Complex" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans earthy and sweet and complex.

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.
