Pu-erh Blends

This dark from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This intriguing tea offers a bold flavor profile, marrying the distinctive character of raw Pu-erh with a captivating pine smoke. Expect pronounced notes of smoked citrus and aged tobacco, complemente. It sits in the "Smoked" and "Earthy" and "Sweet" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans smoked and earthy and sweet.

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 2023 harvest.
