Puer Sheng (Raw) Tea Yi Wu Old Tree Brick 250 gr.

This brick of Puer Sheng (raw) Yi Wu Old Tree Tea is composed of leaves harvested from the ancient tea trees on Mount Yiwu,Yunnan, renowned for its unique broad-leaf tea trees. The leaf has a slightly smoky aroma, with an initially fresher, herbaceous taste that soon turns into a sweet aftertaste. The leaf is fully fermented, after a long period of maturation that gives complexity to the liquor.

Place of origin

Yiwu, Yunnan, China

How to prepare

We strongly recommend infusing Yi Wu Old Tree puer sheng (raw) tea in the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a gaiwan with a capacity of about 150 ml. By following this preparation, multiple infusions can be made with 5 grams of leaves that are useful to best capture all the flavor nuances of the tea.

Heat the water to a temperature of 90°C: conduct a short rinse of the leaves and then an initial 20-second infusion. Keeping the water at the same temperature, you can then continue to exploit the same leaves by adding more water and increasing the infusion time by 10 seconds each time (20 – 30 – 40…).

This tea has a longevity of about 6 brewings.

For a more classic preparation in the Western style, we recommend 2.5 grams of leaves in a 200-mL cup with water at 90°C for an infusion time of 2-3 minutes.

For a better tasting experience, we suggest that you strain the tea as soon as the brewing time is over. The infusion timings we suggest can be slightly modified to your liking to achieve a more or less intense taste.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
