Purple Bud Puerh

Purple Bud Puerh Cake
(Zi Cha Simao)

The Mingqing Company in Simao provided us with this high quality raw puerh tea. This tea originates from Xishuangbanna, near the Menghai area. Purple Bud Puerh Tea is made from the tender single bud of the wild Puerh tea trees or maocha. The fresh buds on the tea trees are purple and the dried leaves are shiny and dark. However, when you taste this tea you'll find it to be a relatively young raw puerh cake that has only been aged since 2007. Because of its characteristic taste, this puerh is ready to drink now, but it will get even better with age.

Brewing Instructions: Around eight 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 the risk with humidity and store the tea in a dry room. We ship this tea for free.
