Type: Ripe (fermented) Pu'erh (grade: 1-3)
Production area: Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province
Taste characteristics: What sets this ripe Pu-erh apart from other ripe Pu-erh is that this tea uses leaves from the arbor trees grown in high mountains, requiring no spraying of harmful chemicals. In addition, this tea is fermented using the traditional method, which will enhance the future aging of the tea. The result of the above factors is a tea that is bold, full-bodied, and rich. Enjoy the aftertaste that lingers in your mouth for an extended period of time after each sip.
BREWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Use 5g of leaves (or one piece of mini tuo cha) per 6 ounces of water. Rinse the leaves with boiling water (212 degree F) and discard the water. Start steeping according to the recommended steeping times below:
Great Taste, High Energy for Me02/22/2022 ByWoody W. Love the flavor of this pu-erh. Sometimes I brew it and the cooling mint flavor dominates, other times it is a deep, dark sweetness. I guess that is what I like about the tea, it has a big and complex flavor.
I do have to say this, in my body the tea is high energy and slightly uncomfortable when I use my normal amount of tea (by eyeball method, not precise). So this is not a daily tea for me because I prefer lower energy/caffeine/whatever tea for daily drinking. When I want amazing flavor, I brew this! Our responseThank you for the detailed description of your experience with this tea. I am sure others will find it helpful.
