Description
Origin: Jinggu,Yunnan, China
Elevation: 1,800 m
Harvest: Spring
Wild Spring comes from Huangcaoba, Jinggu, Yunnan, a high mountain area at around 1800 metres, shaped by forests, meadows, mist and marked day–night temperature shifts. Made from hand-picked spring leaves of seed-grown, century-old tea trees, it reflects the diversity of the mountain rather than a single cultivar. The leaves are lightly pan-fired, gently rolled and fully sun-dried, allowing the character of the terroir to stay at the centre.
Wildflowers, green plum, honey and a refreshing wet-stone minerality unfold naturally in the cup. The liquor is bright and juicy, with fine astringency and a long, lingering sweetness — wild, clean and full of energy.
Each mini cake weighs around 6 g and can be split in half along the centre. Brew it whole for a full gongfu session, or break it into smaller pieces for mug brew or cold brew. Easy to carry, easy to share.

Tips
Use one whole 6g cake for gongfu brewing, or break it in half for a 3g mug brew.
For a softer cup, use slightly cooler water or shorten the infusion.
For more structure, use hotter water or extend the brewing time a little.
This tea can also be steeped for longer in a covered mug or thermos. Use fewer leaves and more water for a gentle, slow brew.
Storage
Keep dry, ventilated and away from strong odours.
Avoid direct sunlight, heat and humidity. Raw pu’er can continue to change slowly over time, but it should be stored in a clean, dry place.
