Brewing Puer with a View in Mengsong, Yunnan

We've outlined our ideal gongfu brewing instructions for raw puer, or any really. The first step is to find a gentle stream buried in a old growth tea garden in Yunnan. They say the water source closest to the tea trees produces the best results for a tea, so try not to skimp on this step.

If you do not live near a Yunnan tea garden, then any stream will do. If there are no nearby streams, then anywhere with a table will also do the trick.

The next step: brew your tea.

Ok, so perhaps this is a bit of an unnecessary and unrealistic setup for brewing. You don't need to be in a tranquil forest or ideal environment. You just need to pay a bit of attention and be drinking something you enjoy.

We can't transport you to this stream, but we can bring you the tea from this garden, which is our 2019 Plum Beauty Black:

For the raw puer version, our Plum Beauty raw comes from the younger (~40 yr) "left to grow" trees nearby:
