Product Description
Jinglong Tea Factory - Puerh Tea Tuocha Jumbo Dragon (40 Cups) Ripe Pu-erh (3.6 Ounce)
- NATURAL FULL TEA LEAF - of Camellia sinensis var. assamica sourced from tea plantations of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, China.
- VERY REASONABLE PRICE 40 cups / $10.99 = $0.27 per cup!
- LONG LASTING - We used big loose leaf, so you can enjoy it's woody, sweet taste throughout multiple infusions.
- AGED - The leaf we used was post-fermented in 2016 and was aged as loose leaf for 2 years before pressing.
- CLEAR PRODUCT - Grown and pressed without artificial additives
- HANDY SHAPE - Tea is pressed in a form of tuocha (aka bird nest). The weight of tuocha is 100 g (3.5 oz). Tuocha is medium-pressed, so you can break tuocha into smaller pieces with bare hands, but we would recommend use of "pu-erh knife" for gentle dismounting of pressed leaves.
- PROCESSED IN MENGHAI - only a part of the fermentation process is controlled by the man. Climate, water and microflora of Menghai county created unique taste of this pu-erh.

ABOUT JINGLONGÂ
medium size family run tea factory established in 2004, with production facilities in Yiwu town, Menghai county and Kunming City of Yunnan Province. Jinglong provides customers with a wide range of natural loose leaf and pressed teas: from collectable single origin specialty teas to affordable high quality teas for everyday consumption.
BREWINGÂ
Single brewing - tea-water ratio about 1:100, water temperature - just of the boil, total brewing time 3-4 min.
The tea is great for gongfu-style brewing: multiple short time (30-60 sec) infusions with tea-water ratio lowered to 1:30.
Gently detach some leaf whith hand or "pu-erh knife".
We found it to be most suitable for following brewing methods:
- Teapot
- Gaiwan
- French press
- Clever Dripper.
TROUBLESHOOTINGÂ
- Ripe pu-erh wet-pile fermentation process takes up to 60 days and involves microorganisms, so ripe pu-erh taste profile differs from taste of other types of teas. A bit earthy taste is a part of pu-erh taste profile.
- Please remember that short-time (10-20 sec) warming up (or rinsing) stage is needed while brewing pressed tea. Â
- Ripe pu-erh tea should be brewed with water just boiled (208-212°F).
