TROUBLESHOOTING Ripe pu-erh wet-pile fermentation process takes up to 60 days and involves microorganisms, so ripe pu-erh taste profile differs from taste of other types of teas. A bit earthy taste is a part of pu-erh taste profile. Please remember that short-time (10-20 sec) warming up (or rinsing) stage is needed while brewing pressed tea. We would also recommend to crush mini cake evenly for better rinsing and faster brewing process. Ripe pu-erh tea should be brewed with water just boiled (208-212°F). TASTE the tea made of some of the oldest varietals of the tea plants FEEL THE TERROIR understand the relationship between taste of the tea and distinctive characteristics of the soil, water, climate and conditions under which it was grown meet TRADITIONAL yet one of the most SUSTAINABLE processing technology: raw leaf is dried by sun, wet pile temperature rises during post-fermentation due to microorganisms activity and leaf internal heating, no heating or air conditioning equipment is used REDUCE packaging WASTE the tea is kept fresh by pressing process, we wrap it in paper and / or sustainable bamboo culm sheath HOW TO YIELD THE PERFECT BREWED CUP? CRUSH For perfect brew pressed tea should be broken, crushed or divided into small even pieces similar to loose leaf. WARM UP In order to warm up (or rinse) the leaf pour small amount of hot boiled water (0.2-0.3 oz) through the leaf or brew the leaf with the same amount of water for 15-30 seconds. DISPOSE this warming up brew. USE JUST BOILED WATER Brew ripe pu-erh tea with just boiled water, water temperature 208-212°F. Make sure the leaf is covered by water. COVER Try to keep the temperature inside the brewing vessel as high as possible. Brew pressed tea for 3-4 minutes. All starts from the natural green leaf of Camellia sinensis var. assamica sourced from tea plantations of Menghai county (Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, China). The leaf is plucked, fixed, rolled and sun-dried. Thus we receive a semi-product called shaiqing maocha 晒青毛茶. After that maocha goes to our production facility for wet-pile post-fermentation (this process looks like composting). After post-fermentation lose leaf tea (now it's called ripe or shu / shou 熟 pu-erh) is screened, graded and pressed into different shapes. You can find some examples of our pu-erh tea shapes bellow.
