2008 Loose Leaf Ripe Pu-erh Tea (2008年熟普洱散茶)

$21.00 AUD

A 2008-vintage ripe Pu-erh, stored loose rather than pressed, for immediate drinking comfort and smooth, rounded flavour. This tea has had years to settle, integrate and soften.

Unlike compressed cakes, which are designed for long-term ageing and need to be carefully broken apart, this loose-leaf Pu-erh is ready to use straight from the bag. It is easier to weigh, rinse and brew precisely, while still offering the depth and complexity of aged ripe Pu-erh. It performs well in both gongfu and Western-style brewing and can handle multiple infusions while staying smooth and sweet.

Use 5-10g of tea and a 100-150ml gaiwan or small teapot.

Water temperature should be at ~100°C.

Rinse the leaves once before the first infusion.
5-10s for the first steep, a few seconds longer for each subsequent steep.

Pu-erh is alive and continues to evolve over time. Store your tea in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space, away from direct sunlight and strong odours. Avoid sealed containers—Pu-erh benefits from gentle airflow. Over the years, its flavour will deepen and mature naturally, rewarding patience and proper care.
