2022 'Tetralemma' Raw Pu-erh Tea
A refined, graceful blend of high-end materials from some of our favourite patches of old-growth forest across southern Yunnan. Focussed on balance rather than loudness, this tea has a deceptively smooth, sweet-leaning character. From the first steep, this tea reveals a potently fragrant and silky profile. Successive steeps unravel greater complexity and thicker mouthfeel; there's a lot of depth that might take you several sessions to fully appreciate.
This tea is a high value pickup for those interested in exploring what old-tree raw puerh has to offer. For those familiar with the game, this is an ideal one to stock-up on and age for drinking down the line. In time, and under appropriate storage conditions, you can expect this tea to develop increasing thickness, sweetness, and surprising strength in both mouth and body.

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.
