Premium Menghai Fermented Pu Erh Tea Cake – 357G Chinese Loose Leaf Tea

Crafting a truly refined tea is never a one-step job. It takes many rounds of work and hundreds of days, and a decade of disciplined quality control, to keep every lot consistent while still honoring the tea’s original character.

By working in line with inherited methods and handling each stage with care, the maker preserves the delicate style that makes this tea special. Gentle processing matters here, because white tea benefits from minimal disturbance that helps protect its natural fragrance, sweetness, and clarity in the cup.

Sourced from the Menghai Tea District, this ecological ancient-tree garden grows in the bright sunlight of the plateau and is harvested entirely by hand. The leaves are then refined with time-tested techniques, allowing the terroir and craftsmanship to show up clearly in the finished tea.

The liquor feels smooth and slightly thick on the tongue, while the aroma stays present long after each sip. Its brew shows a deep ruby tone that looks vivid and inviting, especially in a clear tasting cup. This old tea head is impressively durable in infusion, so you can shorten the steep for a brisk cup or extend it when you want a fuller, deeper expression.

It suits quiet daily drinking, after-meal refreshment, and unhurried sessions with guests who enjoy tea that changes gracefully from one brew to the next. Because it remains lively through many infusions, it also makes a tasteful gift or a worthy addition to a collector’s tea shelf.

1. Leaf amount: 5-7g
2. Steeping strength and water temperature: This tea can go well beyond 20 infusions when brewed at 85-87 degrees Celsius. Heat the water to a full boil first, let it rest for a few minutes, and pour it only after it has cooled a little to the proper range. Do not dilute it with cold water, and do not use water that has not fully boiled.
3. Pouring method and timing: Let the water run slowly and neatly along the inner wall of the cup, then pour off the liquor promptly; the first brew can be finished in about 35 seconds. Begin with a tea rinse, and from the fourth steep move the timing to 5 seconds, then 7 seconds, then 9 seconds. As the brewing time is gradually extended, avoid covering the infusion.
