Spring Yiwu

This Gaoshan Early Spring Pu-erh presents a captivating honey orchid aroma. The liquor is full-bodied, coating the mouth and throat with a delightful, well-rounded sweetness, leading to a long-lasting. It leans floral, sweet and honey.

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.
