the bean

origin: yunnan
region: pu'er
status: in stock

this is a raw pu'er sourced from wild forest trees in the pu'er region of yunnan, china, harvested in 2016 and offered through passenger and necessary coffee. raw pu'er undergoes minimal processing compared to ripe pu'er, preserving a character that leans distinctly tea-like, with black tea as the dominant flavour thread. if you enjoy the clean, astringent quality of a good loose-leaf black tea but want to explore it in cup form, this is a logical place to start. brew it gently, using water just off the boil and a filter or pour-over setup, to keep the delicate tea-forward character clear rather than muddied.
