Puer Sheng (raw) Wild Old Tree tea 2010 357gr

Puer Sheng Wild Old Tree tea cake is made from wild tea leaves harvested in the Lincang area (southwest Yunnan prefecture) and left to ferment.

The tea has a sweet taste and strong aroma. It is a tea that has no trace of bitterness, quite the contrary: the older it gets, the more sweetness and lovability it acquires.

Place of origin

Lincang, Yunnan, China

How to prepare

We strongly recommend infusing Puer Sheng Wild Old Tree 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 15-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 5 seconds each time (15 – 20 – 25…).

This tea has a longevity of about 8 infusions.

For a more classic preparation according to 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 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.
