Raw Puer Tea | Qing Yun Pu 青云普 Year 2017

Qing Yun Pu is a Raw Puer Tea that hailed from Lincang, Yunnan, China. It is made of large-leafed varietal tea leaves that are sun-dried, steamed and compressed in the traditional way into round tea cakes.

This tea yields an infusion with a distinct “Dian” note, a flavour unique to traditionally produced Yunnan teas. The natural wild air of Lincang mountainous areas is preserved and amplified with a slight wood-fired note in the “kill-green” process, giving the tea a “worldly” character.

Qing Yun Pu responds to the seasons well, while retaining a strong character that would rather be rebellious than tender, a style expressed in its subtle fire-roasted aroma and boldness on the palate that makes this tea distinctively memorable.

Drink it now and enjoy its spirit, or collect for later enjoyment.

Brewing Hints

Break off a well-sized portion of tea leaves from the tea cake, add to brewing vessel until ¼ filled. Pour in freshly boiled water at 85°C-95°C and drain the tea infusion immediately. 1st brew is not for drinking, the purpose is for the tea leaves to unfurl and moisten. This helps release the full flavour of tea for a satisfying brew.

For 2nd brew, refill the brewing vessel with about 30 Seconds to extract the full flavour. Pour and Serve. It is good for several brews. Re-steep the leaves in a similar manner to enjoy the tea as it develops from steep to steep; continue re-steeping until the leaves are exhausted of flavour.
