Autumn Raw Pu-erh (Other)

This raw Pu-erh opens with a delicate aroma of fresh grass and sweet florals. On the palate, it delivers a clean and potent cha qi, accompanied by a distinct cooling sensation in the mouth and throat. It leans grassy, floral and cooling.

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.

Starts at $17.75 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.48/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.88 per session. Compare dark prices across vendors on Teadar.
