"Gourdsmasher" Sheng / Raw Puerh Tea Dragon Balls

$ 11.99

Get ready to smash your gourd! This tea is a potent cha qi powerhouse. We had fun with this tea. It's got a classic sheng profile with good bitterness and astringency. It's a strong tea though. It will sneak up on you. This is a fun tea to go hard steeping on with friends.

You can get either 6x or 12x 5g tea balls in one packet. That's 30 or 60 grams of total tea. 5 grams is perfect for a solo session. Add a second ball if you're brewing for friends.

Brewing Instructions

These steep super easy! Drop one ball into your brew vessel of choice 75-100ml or so. Add boiling water slowly. Let it steep for 30s and watch the ball open up. Discard this initial rinse; or drink it if you're super brave! Wait 5 minutes with the lid on and the tea ball will be open and ready to brew. Start with quick steeps under 10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste. Enjoy and don't say we didn't warn you! 😜
