How to Brew Jingmai Mountain Pu'er Tea for a great taste?

Today, we will use this example of Jingmai Mountain Pu'er from One Elephant as a demonstration for brewing.

Before we start brewing, let's introduce the flavor characteristics of Jingmai. The One Elephant Jingmai raw Pu'er cake is made from carefully selected large-leaf tea from Jingmai Mountain and has been naturally aged for 5 years before being pressed into cakes. The tea trees on Jingmai Mountain grow in mixed forests, giving the tea a strong wild character and a unique orchid fragrance. The longer it is stored, the more pronounced the aroma becomes. After brewing, there is a noticeable and lasting sweetness. Today, we have chosen to brew it with a Teapot, which enhances the taste.

Let's begin the brewing process. The first step is to warm the teapot and utensils, which raises their temperature and helps release the aroma of the tea leaves.

The next step is to add the tea. Observe how tightly rolled the leaves are and how they are covered with fine hairs. Place the prepared tea leaves into the pot.

The first infusion is to rinse the tea with hot water, using a high temperature and a quick rinse.

Now we proceed with the first proper brewing, pouring water slowly and focusing on a specific spot for the infusion.

Then pour out the tea after about 7-8 seconds. Serve the brewed tea in cups to drink. The tea liquor is a bright golden color, very clear and transparent.

This tea is made from spring tea leaves, which are rich in content. After adding water, pour out the tea immediately. For the first three infusions, maintain a quick pour-in and pour-out pace. Here is the tea liquor, a bright golden color, looking quite textured. As the flavor of the tea liquor gradually fades, delay the pouring time. When brewing this tea, it is important to try to pour out all the tea liquor to avoid bitterness in the next infusion.

A good tea doesn't require complex brewing methods. The One Elephant Jingmai raw Pu'er cake can be brewed following the standard Pu'er tea brewing process. The overall taste of this tea: a high and lingering orchid fragrance, intensely sweet and long-lasting, slightly bitter, with an aroma that lingers in the mouth, highly resistant to multiple infusions, still sweet and fragrant after 10 infusions, with a strong lingering cup aroma.
