Overview
Tip: start at ~95°C, then adjust down 3–5°C if it turns sharp.
Red Loon is a blend of small batch shou Puer that we tested for over 800 agrochemicals using the EU MRL standard and it passed. We made this blend to offer a clean, thoughtful, well-made shou Puer that is affordable for any tea drinker. Rich and intriguing in spite of its price tag, Red Loon has a classic jujube sweetness and tang alongside elements of minerality and forest floor. Still a bit fresh in 2023, but for lovers of shou it's an immediate candidate for an easy daily drinker. Each mini is ~7 grams of tea.
