Spring Lincang

This raw Pu-erh tea offers a formidable 'Cha Qi' with remarkable clarity, reflecting its origins from ancient tea trees high in the Big Snow Mountain area of Lincang. Expect a pure, invigorating exper. It leans powerful, clear and mineral.

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 2022 harvest.

Starts at $10.25 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.26/g. A 25g package gets you around 4 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.56 per session. Compare dark prices across vendors on Teadar.
