Heavy Roast Raw Pu-erh (Other)

This bold Raw Pu-erh is defined by an intense pine smoke aroma, reminiscent of fine Lapsang Souchong, layered over a burly, full-bodied base. It offers a deep, lingering sweetness and a heavy mouthfee. It leans smoked, earthy and sweet.

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 2020 harvest. The leaves got a heavy roast after picking.
