Spring Ripe Pu-erh

This exceptionally potent ripe Pu-erh tea, crafted from mature Lao Man'e old tree material, offers a distinctly bitter yet incredibly complex flavor profile. Expect a long-lasting mouthfeel and powerf. It leans bitter, complex and potent.

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 $8.50 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.62/g. A 10g package gets you around 2 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $3.72 per session. Compare dark prices across vendors on Teadar.
