2020 'Kuuramine' Raw Pu-erh Tea Ball

Fast-acting existential relief.

Keep that creeping cosmic horror (and associated fatigue) at bay, no matter the circumstance; with our latest raw pu-erh in a convenient longzhu (‘dragon ball’) format. Each ball contains 7g of high-potency Yunnan raw pu-erh, perfect for a gongfu session in a teapot or gaiwan, broken apart and brewed in a mug, or in a big pot, without the hassle of breaking apart a full sized puerh cake. 

A carefully formulated blend of material designed with reliable flavour in mind; ample sweetness, fragrance, throat-coating smoothness, and plenty of lingering aftertaste. The ball format allows for nicely unbroken leaves, which will unfurl over the course of a session. We recommend a long rinse, followed by leaving the tea to steam itself apart for a minute or two with the lid of the teapot or gaiwan left on, before brewing as normal, adjusting as the tea opens up.

  • Use boiling water (100C). 

    We recommend approx 1g of tea per 15ml of water for Gongfu-style brewing in a teapot or gaiwan. Rinse the leaves once and then brew several times until there is no flavour left.

    For Western-style brewing in a larger teapot, use approx. 5g per 100ml of water. You can re-brew the leaves a few times.

    To brew direct in a mug, use 1-2g of tea in the bottom of the cup, fill with boiling water, and drink once cool. Re-fill the cup with more water when you've drunk 1/3rd of the tea. Repeat until there is no more flavour left.

  • All of our teas are suitable for long-term storage and aging.

    Keep your tea away from sunlight and strong smells, and somewhere with stable climate conditions.

    You can keep it sealed inside the re-usable bag the tea comes in, or another non-porous container.
