Spring Lincang

This aged raw Pu-erh offers a robust and balanced profile, showcasing the wild character of Lincang ancient arbor leaves. Expect a rich, textured experience with a strong, invigorating 'cha qi' that l. It leans robust, complex and full-bodied.

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.
