2019 'Respite for the Damned' Ripe Puerh

The long awaited version 2.0 of our previous much-loved ripe puerh. This time, we've added some extra material to give it a touch more bitterness.

You've had a long day siphoning secret data from a Megacorp, followed by a run-in with a street gang. Chopping heads, avoiding the pigs; and you got android blood on your new jacket. Damn.

What you need is to unwind. Relax. 

Take a sip of this high-end blend of ripe puerh, made from small, private-batch, material. This tea represents the best ripe tea material we've hoarded over the past couple of years, meticulously combined to make something greater than the sum of its parts. 

This tea has an uncommonly strong and sweet fragrance, with a heavy, luxurious body and distinctly warming spiced sweetness.

Kick-off your boots, rest those tired eyes, and slip into this silky, smooth, ripe puerh.

  • Use boiling water (100C). 

    We recommend using approx 1g of tea per 15ml of water for gongfu-style brewing in a teapot or gaiwan. Rinse the leaves once and then brew as usual. You can re-steep the leaves several times until there's no flavour left.

    For Western-style brewing in a larger teapot, use approx 5g tea 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 to top 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's no more flavour left.

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

    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.
