Golden Nuggets Black Pu’erh

Golden Nuggets Black Pu’erh is a beautiful loose pu’erh tea, harvested and produced at Mount Phoenix, in Pu’erh, Yunnan province in southwest China. The golden tea “nuggets” are formed during the fermentation process, in which the piled tea leaves will heat up to around 60°C, which releases pectin on the leaves, providing a unique flavor.

The Golden Nuggets Black Pu’erh’s buds contain more pectin than leaves; you will notice that the nuggets have abundant golden tips throughout. The tips and pectin release a unique flavour, like dried fruit. Once steeped, you will appreciate the rich earthy aroma, with a slight “funk” initially that disappears during steeping. At first sip, this pu’erh produces a thick, deep-maroon tea soup that is wonderfully clear, is smooth bodied and mellow in flavor. This delightful tea that can be steeped up to 10 times to discover and enjoy its full complexity- with notes that are earthy, fruity, and incredible smoothness.
