Pu-erh Blends

This dark from Yunnan, China offers a distinctive drinking experience. This unique ripe Pu-erh delivers an intriguing blend of a velvet-smooth body with intense pine smokiness. It evokes the aroma of a sweet forest fire, surprisingly soft and comforting in the cup. It sits in the "Smoky" and "Smooth" and "Sweet" flavor families, so expect a cup that leans smoky and smooth 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.
