【Ripe in the Year of the Rat · Loose Leaf for Leisurely Sips】2020 Ripe Pu'er Tea | Loose Leaf - 50g
｜Sealing Time, Unsealing a Mellow Prelude to Age｜
This is more than a can of 2020 ripe tea—it is a warm, mellow page of poetry composed by time and microorganisms. Made from Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried maocha and patiently mellowed through traditional wet-piling fermentation, it quietly transformed in the warmth and humidity of the Year of the Tiger, shedding youthful astringency and accumulating a sweet, malty fragrance. Finally preserved in its loose, natural form, it awaits your effortless brewing—a tea at ease that requires no complex cake-breaking.
▎ Tasting Notes · A Mellow Narrative of Time
* Dry Leaves: Neat, uniform strands in deep brown with reddish hues, hints of golden tips, exuding a clean aroma of ripe fruit sweetness and woody aged fragrance.
* Liquor Color: A rich, translucent amber-red from the very first infusion, like the clear afterglow of sunset.
* Aroma: The cup bottom holds notes of date, sweet sticky rice, and a delicate aged scent reminiscent of the quiet air between the pages of an old book.
* Taste: Smooth as silk on entry, the liquor is full-bodied and slides easily down the throat, free of any piled or off flavors. The sweetness is lasting and gentle, with a clean aftertaste that lingers, followed by a comforting warmth spreading from within.
* Spent Leaves: Soft, glossy, and pliable with a reddish-brown vitality, feeling like satin to the touch.

▎ Brewing Suggestions · Awakening the Dormant Sweetness
1. Vessel: A 120-150ml gaiwan or Yixing teapot is ideal.
2. Method: Use about 5g of leaves (adjust to taste), rinse quickly with 100°C boiling water to fully awaken the tea, then infuse.
3. Enjoyment: First infusion for about 45 seconds to experience the rich, smooth intensity. Gradually increase steeping time with subsequent brews to follow the tea's evolution. This dry-stored ripe tea can yield six to seven infusions, its flavors fading gracefully like a lingering melody.
