Overview
This is the same lovely material that went into our pressed Manzhuan cakes. The aromas are floral but subdued and delicate. This tea shines in body and peaceful energy. This tea is thick and stays thick through the steeps. It's a real pleasure to drink and just seems to always hit the spot whatever mood we're in. "Elemental Puerh" is our collection of single origin, direct sourced, hand rolled puerh tea dragon balls. These are high quality examples of individual mountain personality. Each wrapper is stamped with an infographic containing all the important origin details. You have the year of picking, the season of picking, the mountain name and symbol, the distance from the equator, and special indicators for wild or old tree material. Each dragon ball is individually steamed and hand rolled. They weigh 8 grams and are perfect for a session in your gongfu2go portable tea brewer or gaiwan / teapot. Each order contains 6x 8g dragon balls. This material is from Spring of 2018 and was picked from old tree material growing in Manzhuan. Brewing Instructions Use a single tea ball in a brewing vessel between 100 and 150ml. Use water at or near boiling. Do a long initial rinse between 15 and 30s. Let the tea sit for a few minutes. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.
