Premium Shu Pu-erh "Gong Ting" with a High Bud Content from Menghai

Produced and packaged exclusively for Art of Tea, this high-grade pu-erh comes in a vibrant wrapper featuring a majestic tiger stealthily prowling through lush greenery.

Aroma

Woody and spicy with a subtle smoky-tar nuance.

Flavor

Soft, accessible, and velvety, with a pronounced woody-nutty profile and a touch of sweetness. Hints of camphor, berry-citrus notes, and a gentle chocolate bitterness add complexity.

Effect

Mildly invigorating, focusing, and centering.

Production

  • 2021: Harvest and fermentation in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna.
  • Aged: Two years.
  • Pressed: October 2023 in Yunnan Province, China.

Though relatively young, this tea will develop greater depth and balance in both flavor and aroma over time. It is delightful to enjoy now or to store for aging, observing its transformation.

Format

100g tea cake.

Brewing Recommendations

We recommend the infusion method:

  • Use 1 gram of tea per 20 ml of water.
  • Brew with freshly boiled water and thoroughly preheat your teaware.
  • First steep: 10 seconds; increase by 5 seconds with each subsequent steep.

This pu-erh also performs exceptionally well when simmered over heat or brewed in a thermos.
