When we sold out of that we were pretty sad and have looked for something like it ever since. This is it!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eThis is an imperial grade shou puerh. That means the leaf material is entirely buds. You can see that clearly in the pictures. This tea comes on dark quickly! The buds always brew fast. There are strong mineral notes in this tea with some balanced bitterness and astringency characteristic of Bulang. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan mce-data-marked=\"1\"\u003eIn general bud heavy blends don't last as many steeps as other blends with larger leaves. You'll get about 8 really nice steeps and then it becomes very sweet. It's very drinkable after that but the real magic happens in the early steeps.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing Instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse 5-10 grams of leaves and brew with 75-150ml ( 2.5-5oz ) of water at or near boiling.
