{"product_id":"2015-shu-pu-erh-tea-first-flush-spring-dragon-balls","title":"2015 First Flush Ripe Shu Pu-erh Tea Dragon Balls","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis tea comes from the well-respected Run Yuan Cang, a Menghai-based producer renowned for its premium Pu-erh craftsmanship. Harvested during the first flush of spring 2015 and carefully aged for ten years, the leaves are hand-rolled into convenient dragon ball shapes. A decade of natural aging yields a smooth, velvety texture and a rich, mature aroma. The “first spring” leaves — the most nutrient-dense of the year — provide the foundation for a mellow, full-bodied infusion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach hand-shaped dragon ball (net weight 7g) eliminates the need for measuring or breaking apart compressed tea. Simply steep one ball per session to enjoy a refined cup of aged ripe Pu-erh — whether at the office, on a business trip, or while traveling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewing recommendation: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVessel: best to use Yixing or Jianshui purple clay teapot, Avoid using glass teapot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaf to water ratio:  one dragon ball to 150-200ml teapot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrewing time: each brew for 30s, adjust for personal taste.
