Spring Lincang

This aged raw Pu-erh from Mengku, known as the "Wild Arbor King," offers an intense and aromatic experience. With a notable cha qi and exquisite lingering fragrance, it presents a deep and evolving ch. It leans aged, aromatic and deep.

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 Spring 2006 harvest.

Starts at $7.25 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.72/g. A 10g package gets you around 2 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $4.32 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
