Raw Pu-erh (Other)

This dark from China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This raw Pu-erh blend, known for its robust character, offers a potent and stimulating experience. Expect deep, grounding earthy notes intertwined with complex undertones that develop with each steep. It sits in the "Strong" and "Earthy" and "Complex" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans strong and earthy 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.

This dark is grown in China. This particular batch comes from the 2021 harvest.

Prices start at $27.00 through white2tea — that works out to about $0.93 per gram. A 25g package gives you roughly 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $5.58. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
