Description
Best to Enjoy during Autumn & Winter
Besides its complex flavour, this pu erh offers amazing tea energy (cha qi). As it warms your body and calms the mind, we think the best time to enjoy this tea is during the Autumn and Winter season.
Origin: Meng Song
The tea leaves originate from Meng Song township (Menghai Tea region), were you find one of the oldest ancient tea areas in Yunnan. Located south of Meng Song, is the famous Nannuoshan mountain as wel las Gelanghe township.
Stone-pressed
Instead of compact machine compression, all Teasenz tea cakes are loosely stone-pressed. This results in minimal damage to the tea leaves and allows the cake to age faster and more uniformly. A loosely pressed tea cake is also easier to pry relative to very tightly compressed cakes, resulting in less broken leaves.
Double-wrapped
While regular pu erh is packed in a single wrapper, all Teasenz tea cakes are double wrapped. The outside paper wrapper is extra thick to protect the cake against excessive humidity and unpleasant odours, while the inner wrapper helps regulate humidity and allow the cake to breath and optimally age.
When you order 5 cakes it will be shipped as 1 tong (wrapped in bamboo leaves).
Steeping Instructions
When brewing the traditional way, we recommend to steep 5 grams of this tea with 100ml of water 95ºC (200ºF). Apply a steeping time 5-10 seconds for the first 4 steeps, than gradually increase the steeping time as according to taste.
For Western steeping, we recommend to steep 4 gram of tea leaves with 500ml of water for 1.5 minutes. For the second steep, apply a 2.5 minute steeping time.
With this tea cake we want to prove that with love and patience, nothing is impossible. We sincerely hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we do.
