Spring Lincang

This powerful raw Pu-erh delivers an initial noticeable bitterness that gracefully transitions into a sweet and vibrant vegetal profile. Expect a delightful cooling sensation and mouth-watering finish. It leans bitter, vegetal 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.
