A bit earthy taste is a part of pu-erh taste profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease remember that short-time (10-20 sec) warming up (or rinsing) stage is needed while brewing pressed tea. We would also recommend to crush the cake evenly for better rinsing and faster brewing process.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRipe pu-erh tea should be brewed with water just boiled (208-212°F).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe tea made of some of the oldest varietals of the tea plants\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eunderstand the relationship between taste of the tea and distinctive characteristics of the soil, water, climate and conditions under which it was grown\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyet one of the most SUSTAINABLE processing technology: raw leaf is dried by sun, wet pile temperature rises during post-fermentation due to microorganisms activity and leaf internal heating, no heating or air conditioning equipment is used\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe tea is kept fresh by pressing process, we wrap it in paper and \/ or sustainable bamboo culm sheath\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTea - water ratio for our pu-erh teas is from 1:80 (for larger leaf) to 1:100 (for smaller leaf).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat means that you can brew one cup (240 ml) of tea from 0.1 oz (2.4 - 3 g) of tea leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you don't have scales, use 1\/2 tbs of rather evenly crashed pu-erh tea for 1 cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlease note that post-fermented pu-erh tea doesn't become astringent or bitter if overdosed, so increase the amount of tea only if you do not feel awakening effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor perfect brew pressed tea should be broken, crushed or divided into small even pieces similar to loose leaf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn order to warm up (or rinse) the leaf pour small amount of hot boiled water (0.2-0.3 oz) through the leaf or brew the leaf with the same amount of water for 15-30 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDISPOSE this warming up brew.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrew ripe pu-erh tea with just boiled water, water temperature 208-212°F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMake sure the leaf is covered by water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTry to keep the temperature inside the brewing vessel as high as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrew pressed tea for 3-4 minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll starts from the natural green leaf of Camellia sinensis var. assamica sourced from tea plantations of Menghai county (Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture) and Lincang Prefecture of Yunnan Province (China).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaf is plucked, fixed, rolled and sun-dried.
