In the cup
Berries over a smoky-wood base
Wet leaves smell of blueberry, red currant and cranberry. Those berry notes carry into a thick, smooth infusion with a smoky-woody undertone.
Sweetness, acidity and bitterness balance the cup. Longer, stronger infusions bring out the rustic, earthy side; the source also describes lychee, mangosteen and cardamom in the aroma.
Leaf and craft
A black tea pressed into a cake
The Thailand Tea Forest Project made this spring 2023 tea from big leaves of old wild-growing trees.
The leaves were sun-dried and strongly pressed into a 357 g cake. Shopify lists the current portions and whole-cake options.
First brew
A pot or short gongfu rounds
For a larger pot, use 5 g per 250 ml at 96°C. Steep for 1½ minutes, then 2 and 3 minutes on subsequent infusions.
For gongfu, use 5–6 g per 100 ml at 96°C. Start at 25 seconds and add 5–10 seconds per round; this tea gains strength quickly.
