Our favourite puer of the Autumn 2011 season. Gua Feng Zhai is a Yao tribe village located along the Laos border. The tea comes from one of three plantations deep in the forest. It takes the villagers 3 hours walk to reach the nearest plantation. The leaves are processed in the forest, and then carried back to the village as maocha. Gua Feng Zhai puer is highly sought after as it has the most potent chaqi to be found in Yiwu region. This tea has an exceptionally strong, rich fragrance, with robust leafs & stems typical of the Autumn flush. This tea has been reviewed by Elliot Knapp and Marshaln. Buy together with our 2012 Spring Gua Feng Zhai for a vertical tasting.
Use 8g of tea in 100ml brewing vessel. As this is Autumn tea, adjust your steep times to be a bit longer than usual. This tea can be re-infused 10 times.
