Pu-erh tea, a fermented style hailing from Yunnan Province, China, has historically been compressed into transportable shapes such as discs or bricks. This version nods to tradition with a modern spin: it’s been formed into small cakes—each approximately 6 grams—ideal for individual servings in a teapot or gaiwan. The leaves were harvested and processed in 2011 in Lincang, a remote area in southwestern Yunnan. Made in the sheng, or green, style, note the characteristic bright, fruity aroma and flavors of wood and sour plum that last through multiple infusions. A wonderful introduction to the category—tuck a few into your pocket or bag, and you’ll always be ready to brew! 20 count bag, approximately 4.5 oz total weight Country: ChinaRegion: YunnanTasting Notes: sour plum, apple, woodYear of Production: 2011 Click here to order a small sample size of this tea. -- 200º F 1 piece, 3 minute steep 1 piece, 30 second steep
