About This Tea
What does Golden Needle "Year of the Tiger" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake taste like?
This deeply satisfying ripe pu-erh offers a journey of sweet, velvety flavors with a thick, viscous body. Notes of dark chocolate emerge, balanced by a barely noticeable bitterness, leading to a smoot. It leans sweet, chocolate and fruity.
How should I brew Golden Needle "Year of the Tiger" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake?
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.
