Pu-erh Sheng Tea Cake

With brewing Pu’er Sheng Tea, the intricateness of flavors can be when its dimensions are truly unfolded. To enhance your brewing experience, here’s what you should do to get yourself the best tea:

Water temperature: Water should be heated approximately to up 90-95°C (194-203°F) as this would help in bringing out the full flavors from the Sheng Pu’er leaves. 

Tea rinsing: To begin, a small chunk of the tea cake can be soaked in hot water for around 5 seconds, after which the water is thrown out. This saturation water is useful in ‘waking up’ the tea leaves and hence should be discarded.

Steeping time: For the first infusion, 3-5 grams of Sheng Pu’er can be placed in the teapot or gaiwan, and the infusion can be done for 10-20 seconds at the first pour, thereafter, for every new time the infusion is poured, the waiting can be increased.

Re-steeping: You may want to re-steep Sheng Pu’er more than once since each infusion will be a whole new experience. You may increase or reduce steeping time depending on what you like.

Enjoy: Even if it’s a young Sheng tea or an aged one, be sure to savor every cup, enjoying all the increasing earthy and green tea flavors with time.
