FEATURES 

Small shape to enter the world of BIG whole LEAF AGED ripe PU-ERH.

TYPE OF TEA

Ripe Pu erh Tea (普洱熟茶, shou puerh tea, cooked pu-erh) - a type of pu-erh tea produced in designated areas of Yunnan Province from sun-dried big-leaf loose green tea using technology of wet-pile post-fermentation.

SHAPE

Medium pressed 100 g (3.5 oz) tuocha 沱茶, aka bird nest shape.

LEAF ORIGING 

Xishuangbanna, Lincang prefectures of Yunnan prov., China.

ABOUT JINGLONG 

medium size family run tea factory established in 2004, with production facilities in Yiwu town, Menghai county and Kunming City of Yunnan Province. Jinglong provides customers with a wide range of natural loose leaf and pressed teas: from collectable single origin specialty teas to affordable high quality teas for everyday consumption.

BREWING 

Single brewing - tea-water ratio about 1:100, water temperature - just of the boil, total brewing time 3-4 min.

The tea is great for gongfu-style brewing: multiple short time (30-60 sec) infusions with tea-water ratio lowered to 1:30.

Gently detach some leaf whith hand or "pu-erh knife".

We found it to be most suitable for following brewing methods:

  • Teapot
  • Gaiwan
  • French press
  • Clever Dripper.

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.  
  • Ripe pu-erh tea should be brewed with water just boiled (208-212°F).


  • NATURAL FULL TEA LEAF - of Camellia sinensis var. assamica sourced from tea plantations of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, China.
  • VERY REASONABLE PRICE 40 cups / $10.99 = $0.27 per cup!
  • LONG LASTING - We used big loose leaf, so you can enjoy it's woody, sweet taste throughout multiple infusions.
  • AGED - The leaf we used was post-fermented in 2016 and was aged as loose leaf for 2 years before pressing.
  • CLEAR PRODUCT - Grown and pressed without artificial additives
  • HANDY SHAPE - Tea is pressed in a form of tuocha (aka bird nest). The weight of tuocha is 100 g (3.5 oz). Tuocha is medium-pressed, so you can break tuocha into smaller pieces with bare hands, but we would recommend use of "pu-erh knife" for gentle dismounting of pressed leaves.
  • PROCESSED IN MENGHAI - only a part of the fermentation process is controlled by the man. Climate, water and microflora of Menghai county created unique taste of this pu-erh.
