Overview
Kunlu Shan is one of our year after year favorites. We have been sourcing tea from the same garden and farmers for more than 10 years. It never disappoints. This material is from their small arbor trees that is called Xiao Qiao Mu (that just means small arbor tree). We call it KXQM for short. The tea is full bodied and creamy with minimal bitterness or astringency. It is very floral with potent orchid notes. There is a finishing sweetness like cotton candy. This tea always hits the spot! We have a limited number of these cakes available. Prefecture: Pu'er / Simao Elevation: 1700+m Wood Fired Hand Rolled Direct Sun Dried Single Varietal Spring Material This is a pressed 200g cake. It is a single origin offering that is unique and offers an incredible tea experience. It is from a single garden and remains unblended and processed individually. Brewing Instructions Use 5-10 grams of leaves and brew with 75-150ml ( 2.5-5oz ) of water at or near boiling. Rinse once for a few seconds. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.
