PU-ERH ROSE MINI TUOCHA| SHU PU-ERH

Pu-erh is a unique variety of fermented tea which is grown and harvested in the city of Pu’er in China. The premium Pu-erh tea leaves are ripened and compressed into mini tea cakes (resembling a bird's nest) containing tightly packed tiny red / pink rosebuds that impart subtle floral notes to the earthy, musky Pu-erh tea.

Pu-erh teas are cultivated and crafted in a manner that allows them to age gracefully when preserved correctly, developing more profound, more affluent, and more intricate tastes and fragrances over time.

There is no set rule for brewing tea because each tea type is different.

This is a rough guide to get you started. Please experiment to find your ideal steeping time based on your personal taste.

Before preparing any type of tea always warm the teapot and teacups by rinsing it with hot water.

Put 1 piece of 'Pu-erh Tuocha' in the preheated tea pot and simply rinse the tea with water at 100C before the first infusion. This will clean and soften the leaves for brewing.

For the first infusion, add water at 100C over the tea leaves and let it steep for 3-5 minutes. 

When brewing in a tea pot please pour the tea out in cups until the last drop to avoid over steeping the tea left in the teapot as this will result in a unpleasant and bitter flavour.

Don’t throw out your tea leaves after your first cup of tea. The same tea leaves can be steeped up to three to four times. Discover the nuances of tea with every infusion.

For the subsequent infusions, experiment by increasing the steeping time by 30 sec to 1 minute each time and keep the water temperature the same.
