Brewing recommendations
For brewing 2014 Sheng Pu'er, we recommend steeping in a gaiwan or Yixing clay teapot. The water temperature should be around 85–90°C. The initial steeps should be short (10–15 seconds) to reveal the aroma and avoid excessive bitterness. Gradually, the steeping time can be increased. The tea can withstand up to 5–7 steeps, each of which reveals new facets of flavor.
The 2014 Sheng Pu'er "Xigui Trees" is a unique tea that combines the freshness of the spring harvest, depth of flavor, and rich energy. Its origins in the Xigui region and the use of ancient tree leaves make it a true treasure for pu'er connoisseurs.
