Brewing recommendations
For brewing 2018 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 2018 Sheng Pu'er "Golden Thread" is a unique tea that combines the freshness of the spring harvest, depth of flavor, and rich energy. Originating in Yunnan Province and using only the finest raw materials, it is a true treasure for pu'er connoisseurs. This tea will offer unforgettable moments of enjoyment and allow you to connect with the ancient traditions of Chinese tea art.
If you're looking for a tea that will surprise you with its versatility and offer freshness and lightness, Sheng Pu'er 2018 "Golden Thread" is an excellent choice.
