------------------

Large leaves from the sub varietal Camellia assamica, locally known as Yunnan Big Leaf, are the source for our lot of Imperial Pu-erh. Typically made in the warmer summer months when the higher temperatures will assist in the fermentation process, the large, wet leaves ferment, building tastes, are torn and shaped and then fired drying the leaves and locking in flavors.

------------------

Brewing Suggestions:   Be generous with the leaf, to gain a rich full-tasting cup, we'd suggest 1-2 tablespoons of leaf per 8-12 ounces of water. Use water that is boiling and let the leaves steep for 3-4 minutes. Cup should be dark in color. The leaves will steep multiple times.
