This certified organic Ripe Pu-erh offers a deeply satisfying experience with its thick, dark tea soup. Expect rich notes of dark chocolate complemented by a subtle fruity sweetness, all underpinned b. It leans dark chocolate, fruity and thick.

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.
