Simao Palace Puerh

Simao Pu-erh tea is characterised by its earthy nature and complex flavour profile. Unlike other teas, this type of Pu-erh undergoes a fermentation process that gives it its characteristic flavour, which can be described as deeply earthy with notes of wood, dark chocolate and a subtle sweetness. Palace puer, also known as Gong Ting puer, is known for its small, dense leaves, carefully selected from the youngest and finest tea leaves and buds. These small leaves and buds give the tea a silky and rich flavour profile with deep, earthy notes and a subtle sweetness that lingers on the palette. Gong Ting Pu-erh offers not only a delicious flavour experience but also many health benefits. It is known to support digestion, lower cholesterol levels and contribute to weight loss.

Dosage / 250 ml 2,5-3 g

Temperature 95-100°C

Infusion 3-4 minutes

S In my opinion, Palace Puerh is well suited to multiple infusions. The second infusion should ideally be kept short, as the leaves have already begun to open and release their aromas.

THE GONGFU METHOD

Quantity / 100 ml gaiwan 5-7 grams

The Gongfu method allows for many short infusions. Gradually increase the steeping time as you go along. Oolong teas and pu-erh are particularly well suited to this method.
