2024 'Kuura-Cola' Ripe Puerh Tea
At long last, our go-to workhorse ripe, and regular bestseller returns — new(ish) look, same great taste, and still made with 100% real tea!
KUURA-Cola® is our tried and true mainstay ripe puerh tea cake. Affordable, beginner friendly, and almost impossible to brew poorly. It’s a daily driver tea designed for quick release, steady speed, and the long ride home. Now in its 4th edition, this ripe is made from a blend of tea material fermented in 2022 and pressed in 2024.
If you’re new to puerh tea, ripe puerh is the most common kind you’ll come across out in the wild. It brews as an opaque, dark brown liquid in comparison to the more golden, green, and amber-y hues of fresh and aged raw puerhs. For an introduction to our ripes and KUURA-Cola® lore, we recommend you read through product descriptions from earlier editions here.
For those familiar with the style, this edition of Cola® offers a rich, smooth body with a subtle sandalwood fragrance and a hint of sweetness. Throw some in a mug and let it steep for a thick, soothing shou, or brew it gongfu style for 10+ steeps of clean, sweet goodness.

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.
