Spring Yiwu

This 2018 Yiwu Old Arbor Raw Pu-erh, hailing from the small village of Xiang Chun Lin, offers a compelling journey for the palate. Expect a nuanced profile with a pleasant depth that hints at its futu. It leans earthy, fruity and forest.

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 2018 harvest.

Starts at $26.75 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $2.05/g. A 10g package gets you around 2 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $12.30 per session. Compare dark prices across vendors on Teadar.
