Spring Purple Pu-erh

This aged Purple Pu-erh offers an exceptionally smooth and velvety texture. It delights the palate with abundant creamy sweetness and vibrant fruit juice notes, a profile beautifully transformed by it. It leans creamy, fruity and smooth.

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.
