Every few hours, the leaves must be turned over, which is done by hand..for forty days! This labor intensive process yields an exquisite masterpiece.

Like the fragrant air after rainfall, this aged Pu-erh tea has an earthy, complex flavor profile. Unlike traditional teas with 2 young leaves and a bud, Pu-erh uses 3-4 leaves and bud, yielding older, broader leaves suitable for the fermentation process.

When you brew a cup, remember to first 'rinse' the tea leaves by steeping in boiling water for 30 seconds and dumping the water. This unlocks the full flavor profile, and you can then brew many infusions from one serving of tea leaves.
