Soft and subtle, this sheng (raw) puerh is harvested from 150-450 year old trees. Earthy, mineral-inflected notes of peat and wild mushroom give way to a profile of bitter spring chicory and spice, and finish with a gentle, cooling sensation of floral and incense. Pleasant, mellow energetics. Gao Shan is one of the six famous Puerh mountains East of the Langcang river.
Origin: Gao Shan Zhai, Yi Wu, Mengla County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province - Early Spring Harvest
Brewing Instructions:
Using a puerh knife, tip of a paring knife or with your hand, gently pry leaves from the pressed cake.
Rinsing the Leaves: It is common practice to rinse puerh leaves just before steeping. Simply pour freshly boiled water over leaves, quickly swirl the leaves in the cup and strain, discarding water. Proceed with brewing.

Water Temperature: 195ºF/90ºC
