Tong Qing Hao Shu Puer tea was made from ripe leaves, harvested in the Yiwu area, an area located in the Yunnan region. The leaves are processed and then left to ferment according to tradition before being pressed into brick form. The liquor has a beautiful dark red color, and the leaves are large and fleshy, of the highest quality and carefully processed.
Place of origin
Yiwu, Yunnan, China
How to prepare
We highly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to best enjoy these leaves. Following this preparation, 5 grams of leaves can be used in a gaiwan of about 150 ml to make several infusions with different tastes. After a quick rinse of the leaves in water at 95°C, an initial infusion of 20 seconds can be made, and after that, keeping the water at the same temperature, the time can be increased each time by 5 seconds from the previous infusion (20 – 25 – 30 …).
This tea has a longevity of about 8 infusions.
For a classic preparation according to the Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves in a 200-mL cup with 95°C water for an infusion time of one and a half minutes.
The tea can be filtered for greater ease at the moment of tasting, and also the infusion times indicated above are intended to be purely indicative, so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
