Jingmai Mountain Loose Puerh

Jingmai Mountain

Loose Raw/Green Puerh Tea

Our Jingmai Shan (Mountain) loose puerh is a high quality ‘raw’ puerh, which has been handpicked, baked, rolled, and sun-dried before beginning the fermentation process. This feature makes the tea special, and is the reason why this tea gets better with age. Like all the best raw puerh teas, this loose leaf puerh improves over time. However, that is not to say that you cannot enjoy the tea immediately as well.

Puerh tea is definitely the most famous tea from Yunnan Province.  This tea is available in either a 'raw' or a 'cooked' state. In Chinese 'raw' is known as 'sheng' and 'cooked' is known as 'shou'. This excellent tea is a sheng (raw) puerh, which means that the tea will get better with age like a good wine. Unlike other puerh teas, this tea is not pressed into a cake-shape, but is processed as a loose leaf tea.

Brewing Instructions:  Around ten grams of this tea will be sufficient when using the kungfu tea set or when steeping the tea in a glass or a teapot. When drinking puerh tea, you have to first rinse the tea two times with boiling hot water. This is necessary in order to release the full flavor from the tea leaves. If you have a good quality puerh, you can steep the tea up to fifteen times!

Puerh tea should be stored in a place with enough fresh air and out of direct sunlight. The room doesn´t have to be totally dry, since a little humidity can influence this tea in a positive way, but it should not be too humid. If you don´t have experience with this tea, don´t take any risks with the humidity and store the tea in a dry room.

Shipping: Order at least for 15 euros for free shipping. It will take around 12 days for you to receive the tea at home. Shipping only 5 days when you order more than 100 euro tea and tea ware in total.
