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. The longer Pu-erh is fermented, the smoother the flavor will be. Our Pu-erh 3 Year Aged is a fine specimen with a rich, velvety taste. 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.
