Harvested from the most revered forest of Nan Nou Shan, this wonderful spring-harvested sheng (raw) puerh elicits intoxicating notes of tobacco, vanilla, wild flower honey and orchid. Nan Nou is one of the six famous Puerh mountains west of the Langcang river.
Origin: Ban Po Lao Zhai, Nan Nuo Shan, Menghai 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.
Amount: 1 tsp per 8oz/250ml of water
Water Temperature: 195ºF/90ºC
Bring fresh, cold spring water to a boil.
Brew 4-6 minutes
All puerh may enjoy multiple infusions; for each successive steep, slightly increase brewing time, being careful to drain vessel in it’s entirety before adding fresh water to the warm leaves.
