Brewing Guide for Raw pu-erh tea

Properly brewing Pu-erh tea allows you to experience its finest taste and flavor, making it an enjoyable process as well

Prepare the Tea

Break off 5-8 grams (about 1-2 teaspoons) of raw Puerh tea from the tea cake or brick. Use a Puerh knife or a small tool to gently pry the tea loose, ensuring the leaves remain intact as much as possible.

1

Rinse the Leaves

Place the tea leaves in a teapot or gaiwan. Pour hot water (about 95°C or 200°F) over the leaves and quickly discard the first rinse after 5-10 seconds. This step helps to awaken the tea and remove any dust or impurities.

2

Brew the Tea

Add hot water to the rinsed leaves and let it steep for 10-20 seconds for the first infusion. raw Puerh is generally more delicate and can be astringent or bitter if steeped too long, so start with shorter times and adjust based on taste. Gradually increase the steeping time by 10-15 seconds for subsequent infusions.

3

Enjoy it

Store clothes in a cool, dry place. Use hangers for dresses and blouses, and fold sweaters to maintain their shape.

Brewing Guide for Ripe pu-erh tea

Properly brewing Pu-erh tea allows you to experience its finest taste and flavor, making it an enjoyable process as well

Prepare the Tea

Break off 5-8 grams (about 1-2 teaspoons) of ripe Puerh tea from the tea cake or brick. Use a Puerh knife or a small tool to gently pry the tea loose, being careful not to crush the leaves.

1

Wash separately

Place the tea leaves in a teapot or gaiwan. Pour hot water (about 95°C or 200°F) over the leaves and quickly discard the first rinse after 5-10 seconds. This step helps to "wake up" the tea and remove any dust or impurities.

2

Brew the Tea

Add hot water to the rinsed leaves and let it steep for 20-30 seconds for the first infusion. ripe Puerh is typically richer and smoother from the start, so shorter steeping times are often sufficient for a robust flavor. Adjust steeping time based on your preference for a stronger or lighter brew. For subsequent infusions, gradually increase the steeping time by 10-15 seconds.

3

Enjoy it

Pour the brewed tea into small cups and savor its deep, rich taste. The flavor profile of ripe Puerh can be complex, with earthy and sweet notes that evolve with each infusion
