The tea artisans’ packaging guarantees the quality, the origin and the authenticity of the tea cake.
Brewing recommendations:
4g - 2 to 5mn - 100°C
- Using a pu-erh knife, a paring knife or with your hands, gently loosen leaves from the edges of the cake.
- First rinse the leaves with temperate spring water; this will prepare the leaves for infusion.
- Pour freshly boiled spring water over the already damp leaves.
- Infuse as long as desired, from a few seconds to several minutes.
This tea can easily undergo multiple infusions; for each successive service, it is common practice to gradually increase tea steeping time so as to experience new flavours every time.
