Description
Giant King Silver Needles Puerh – Smooth Bud-Only Ripe Pu-erhGiant King Silver Needles Puerh is a unique ripe (shou) pu-erh made entirely from young, silvery-white buds. It's grown on Mount Bitter Bamboo in Pu'er, Yunnan, at an altitude of 1, 800 meters — an ideal tea-growing region famous for its long tea history. These tender buds are fermented in bamboo baskets for 30 days, then aged and fully oxidized for six months to develop and draw out their woodsy, smooth taste. Because it's made only from buds, this pu-erh is exceptionally smooth, clean and refined compared with typical leaf pu-erh. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItGiant King offers a refined, woodsy pu-erh experience with none of the harshness some pu-erhs can have. Its clarity and smoothness make it a wonderful choice for pu-erh beginners and a rewarding tea for connoisseurs. It's also a naturally fermented tea, traditionally enjoyed after meals.
How to EnjoyBrew it gongfu-style and enjoy it over multiple steeps to experience its evolving depth. It's a comforting coffee alternative in the morning and a smooth after-dinner tea. Smooth, earthy and beautifully refined, Giant King Silver Needles is ripe pu-erh at its most elegant. |

A little steeping tipBefore the first cup, rinse the leaves briefly with hot water and pour it off. Pu-erh can be steeped many times — each cup smoother than the last.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
