Brick of Puer Sheng Xi Gui Gold Leaf tea was produced in 2019 in Lincang (southwestern Yunnan prefecture) from Puer tea leaves harvested in the Xi Gui area and left to ferment. It has a rich taste of sheng puer tea. The sweet and fragrant taste remains even after multiple infusions.
Location of origin
Lincang, Yunnan, China
Preparation
We strongly recommend infusing this tea in the traditional Chinese method (gong fu cha) to enjoy these leaves at their best. Following this preparation, 5 grams of leaves (about 4 teaspoons) can be used in a gaiwan of about 85 ml to obtain multiple infusions with different tastes. After a quick rinse of the leaves in water at 90°C, a first infusion of 20 seconds can be made, and after that, keeping the water at the same temperature, the time can be increased each time by 5 seconds from the previous infusion (20 - 25 - 30 ...)
This tea has a longevity of about 8 infusions.
For a classic preparation according to the Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) in a 150 ml cup with water at 90°C for an infusion time of one and a half minutes.
The tea can be filtered for ease when tasting and also the infusion times given above here are meant to be purely indicative so you can also adjust according to your personal taste.
It is recommended to be stored in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight.
