Spring Ripe Pu-erh

This Ripe Pu-erh offers a rich and thick brew, unfolding with a complex profile that balances distinct bitter notes with a pleasant fruity sweetness. Its profound character lingers on the palate, invi. It leans earthy, fruity and sweet.

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 2020 harvest.

Starts at $11.75 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.29/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.74 per session. Compare dark prices across vendors on Teadar.
