Rice Pu-er Tea - Sheng

This unique Pu’er is harvested from Yunnan Da Ye (Big leaf) Pu’er trees. The leaves are then infused with an herbal leaf called Nuo Mi Xiang (translated “sweet rice tender leaves”), often used to for its cooling properties in the summertime. This pu’er has a lovely warm aroma of basmati rice. The first sip is very refreshing and surprisingly floral. It finishes off with a more pasta like flavour with an incredibly smooth finish.

Steeping Time: We suggest that you rinse your tea leaves before enjoying them, simply add water to the leaves and discard. This wakes them up and they are ready to go. For your first steep, we suggest a 30-50 second steep. For the second steep 10 seconds is best, simply add 5 seconds to each of your next steeps. This will allow you to experience the full range of tastes the leaves have to offer.

*These steeping directions are for a traditional Gong Fu style tea, if you are brewing this tea in a regular cup we recommend steeping for 2 – 3 minutes. This tea can be steeped 4 times.
