Whitemoon 4th Anniversary Pu-er - Tea Cake 2013

This special tea is crafted from ancient tea trees grown in Jinggu, Yunnan. The buds are harvested in early spring and are carefully selected to have a consistent shape, resulting in a perfectly round cake with distinctly visible white leaves like silver needles. The liquor is an attractive amber colour and has a pure natural fragrance which complements the light tasting hint of sweetness. This unique tea was chosen by Tao for his tea friends to celebrate the 4th anniversary of Tao Tea Leaf.

Region: Jinggu, Yunnan Province, China.

Steeping Guide:

Teaware: Glass or ceramic Gaiwan

Amount: 3g /1½ teaspoons

Temperature: 100°c (212°F)

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.
