Our Steep Thoughts

Dry Leaves:

The dry leaves present a very dense teacake, tightly compressed, with an aroma of sandy baked bread, mineral notes, and the umami sourness reminiscent of dark chocolate.

Wet Leaves:

As the leaves slowly open, they release a warm scent of wood, evoking the lushness of a rainforest, paired with sweet, doughy undertones.

Tea Liquor:

Smelling Cup: The aroma from the smelling cup is vibrant and citrusy, featuring notes of orange, nutty elements, and earthy tones.

Visual: The infusion yields an amber-orange liquor.

Aroma: An aroma that blends citrusy notes with cinnamon.

Mouthfeel: The taste is light and viscous, offering a smooth and satisfying experience.

About the TEA

Introducing Miner’s Light, a 2019 Golden Bud Ripe Pu Erh cake that shines as brightly as a miner’s acetylene lamp in the dark. This tea’s rich mineral notes and balanced brightness are reminiscent of the pure, focused light that guides a miner underground. Crafted with carefully selected Buds and handles as a black tea at first, this Pu Erh offers an exceptionally smooth and light-bodied experience, which is unusual for a ripe Pu Erh yet thoroughly delightful.

With every steep, you’ll taste layers of deep earthiness interwoven with a refreshing mineral profile that lifts the tea’s richness. The mouthfeel is creamy and satisfying, and the tea’s natural sweetness lingers pleasantly, enhancing its smooth character. As the tea ages, the minerality will only deepen, promising an even more complex cup over time.

Enjoy Miner’s Light as a reminder of the natural treasures that lie hidden beneath the surface—both in the depths of the earth and within every sip of this unique tea.

Please Note:
Our tea cakes are handcrafted and will not weigh exactly 100g. Variations can occur due to the artisanal pressing process and natural changes during aging, including shifts in moisture content. Each cake is unique, and these differences are a testament to the traditional methods and natural aging process involved.
