At Tea Life Australia we sell Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cakes which are available in individually packed and sealed pouches thus keeping the tea in its freshest form while maintaining intact the intricacies and richness of the tea.

Each pack contains 7 grams, which can be broken into 3 pieces per cup on average. For example with a pack of 8, this should equate to roughly 8 x 3 = 24 cups.

Pu-erh is considered by some to be the king of teas, with its centuries-old custom of fermentation and aging, and rich full-bodied taste more complex than any wine. Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake is another variation of post fermented tea which has developed warm flavors and mellow character after aging. 

Whether you are a long-time fan of pu-erh or a newcomer to the world of fermented teas, our sealed Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake will give you a great quality of tea experience.

Taste Profile: Deep, Woody, and Velvety

The taste of Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake is unlike any other in the market and is rich in character, changing with each second. The base becomes more rounded with notes of aged leather, wet soil, and dry wood.

Bold as they are, these deep notes do not hide behind but are instead accompanied by a natural sweetness that caresses the throat. This supremely rich beverage has a very full mouth-feel, and it certainly encourages one’s desire for yet another sip of this invigorating tea.

With time, the younger bitterness gradually recedes, and the tea embraces in an undertone more overt sweetness and creates a more smooth, rounded, and elegant taste. 

No matter how long it is steeped, bitterness is muted in pu-erh, which makes it perfect for beginners and seasoned tea drinkers alike.

The tea should be consumed at that period in one meal, when one wishes to refresh digestion, and the busy calm, and calming busy day.

What is Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake?

Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake is a cake made from compressed pu-erh tea leaves which are fermented or post fermented tea leaves, a widespread practice in Yunnan Province, China.

The tea undergoes a process of aging and fermentation wherein a smooth, dark tea with a strong and deep flavor is produced. Further, as each tea cake is made compact, storage of this tea, which matures further over the years, becomes convenient too.

Each of our Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cakes is packed and individually pampered and so natural taste and essence of the cake is preserved.

The sealed package is also helpful in savoring the tea at the right pace, in preparing a single cup or even if sharing the brewing experience with others.

How to Brew Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake

Preparing a Brew of Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake is easy and quite engaging. It’s just a matter of preparing the Tea step by step as illustrated below.

1. Cut a small portion (about 2-3 grams) of the compressed cake with a cake knife or a small spoon. From our cakes, this would be 1/3 for a cup and 1/2 for a teapot.

2. Rinse the tea: Tea leaves are rinsed with water which is hot for about 10 seconds and this water is not put to use. This steams the leaves and purges them devoid of any debris such as dust that may have been present.

3. Brew the tea: Add the rinsed leaves to your pot or gaiwan, cover with hot water (95 °C/ 203 °F) for 30 to 60 seconds. You may change the steeping time according to how you want it to be.

4. Multiple infusions: Ripe Pu-erh Tea gives quite a number of infusions and in every infusions a different facet of the tea gets revealed. 6-8 steeps from the same leaves.
