Steeping instructions to get the most out of this tea:

Gong Fu style: Wash for 30 sec, then steep it for 30 sec, then 45 sec, then 1 minute, then 1.5 minutes, 1.5 minutes, 2 minutes. We also recommend using a pure silver teapot if brewing gong fu style, or the SAMA Stainless Steel Flask (MC05 or MC09). If using the SAMA flasks, use 9-11 grams and steep for 1 hour.

This tea has been tested in a certified laboratory for 404 pesticides, and is within the EU MRL limits set for those 404 pesticide residues. For a full list of the 404 pesticides we tested for and more information about MRL testing and the EU Food and Safety commission click on this link.

Smooth, and Mineral-y

"3. 5 Stars: Probably won't order again. Bumping it up to four stars because it's a solid tea for the price-point though. Very smooth, with a dry mouth feel and prominent minerality. Not a bad profile, but not one that blew my socks off. The flavor feels pretty weak though. Not terribly so, but I found myself adding at least another gram compared to what I usually do to get a solid cup. The packaging definitely looks cool, if that matters."

Great ripe!

"Very pleasant tea! Easy drinking, which is what I look for in a good pu-erh. This shou has more of a forest floor smell vs the barnyard/hayloft smell other shous have. Nothing off and very smooth and balanced. Love it!"

Smooth

"Good daily drinker. This is my 2nd purchase of this one. Good for the price."

— J. B. (5/5)

Little disappointed

"There are Very little flavors I can pull out of this tea. I used my 130ml Yixing teapot at 100c. I used 11.5 grams of tea as well . Washed the leaves twice for 15 sec each. Third & fourth steeps were for 20 . The Cha Tou in this just doesn’t help the cake at all. I am having a hard time getting any flavor to come through."

Smoove cocoa

— David L. (5/5)

Great

"It is yummy taste like tea."

— Alison J. (5/5)

Solid Tea

"This a solid ripe puer I would drink when I want something smooth. It has a slightly mouth drying effect. There's a hint of a mineral like flavor in it."

— Brandon D. (4/5)
