2021 'Dethflow' Raw Pu-erh Tea
Guess who's back.
Possibly our most asked about tea to date, and once again our flagship raw pu-erh for 2021.
Expensive. Hard to get access to. But this is the kind of tea that makes it all worth it.
Silky smooth, soft, sweet, and soothing—but definitely not weak. The underlying strength is more of a bass note rather than in your face, and that's precisely the point with teas like this. The phrase 'iron fist in a silk glove' comes to mind. A very satisfying and quenching drink.
The texture of this tea is what sets it apart the most—try steeping on the lighter side to really emphasise the freshly-shaved skin on silk sheets feeling.

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.
