PU'ERH TEA | Loose Leaf King, Young Raw Pu-erh

Pu-erh Tea at a Glance

Our loose leaf King pu-erh is a one-year vintage raw (sheng) pu-erh from Yunnan, China, made with one ingredient: pu-erh tea. It is medium in caffeine, with an earthy, elemental, mellow flavour that suits slow afternoons, hearty meals and curious tea lovers. Each 50 g bag makes about 25 cups, or about 50 if you steep the leaves a second time. It is vegan and vegetarian.

Pu-erh Tea Tasting Notes

The first thing you'll notice is an earthy aroma, like damp woodland. It brews into a burgundy cup with golden highlights, earthy and elemental, mellow and not too strong. The finish is round and smooth. Pu-erh does not taste like other teas, and some customers enjoy a savoury, seaweed-like note. It is a taste many people grow to love.

Pairs With

Hearty, savoury meals. In teahouses in southern China and Hong Kong, pu-erh is also served with dried chrysanthemum flowers.
