Spring Ripe Pu-erh

This concentrated Pu-erh tea resin offers a rich and profoundly sweet experience, dominated by deep cocoa notes. Crafted from fermented leaves, it dissolves easily to deliver a smooth and warming brew. It leans earthy, sweet and cocoa.

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 2016 harvest.

Starts at $6.00 from Yunnan Sourcing, or about $0.34/g. A 10g package gets you around 2 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $2.04 per session. Compare dark prices across vendors on Teadar.
