Heavy Roast Raw Pu-erh (Other)

This dark from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This unique Pu-erh blend offers a captivating interplay of fruit and flame. Expect a thick and intense honeysuckle sweetness that beautifully balances the charred intensity derived from its special ch. It sits in the "Sweet" and "Roasted" and "Fruity" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans sweet and roasted and fruity.

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 Yunnan, China. This particular batch comes from the 2020 harvest. After picking, the leaves received a heavy roast, which shapes the final flavor.

Prices start at $5.40 through white2tea — that works out to about $0.77 per gram. A 7g package gives you roughly 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which puts each session at around $4.62. You can compare prices across all vendors carrying this tea on the Teadar product page.
