Meaning The Fragrance of Age, this tea was made of Imperial or Gong Ting Grade Puerh from LinCang County, YunNan Province. This tea brews strong, smooth, and earthy, with notes of pipe-tobacco and citrus. It can easily be re-infused a dozen-plus times in the gong-fu style, and is an ideal candidate for aging in dry Colorado.

Basic preparation;
Before brewing, hot rinse this tea by pouring boiling water over the leaves and discarding the water. Use 2 teaspoons of tea (about a quarter sized piece) per 8-12 oz of water. Steep for 2 minutes with boiling water.
If you are interested in a lighter brew try using 1 teaspoon of tea.
If you are interested in a stronger brew try steeping for 3+ minutes.
This tea re-steeps excellently a second and third time. To reuse the same leaves, brew successive infusions, not letting the tea sit out for more than an hour. Infuse the tea in the same way as the first steeping, but increase the steep time by one minute for each infusion.
