Gong Ting Pu-erh

The benchmark pu-erh with historic status. Why Gong Ting? This is the name of a raw material category. Translated from Chinese, it means "Palace Pu-erh" — a variety that was historically supplied to the imperial court. Unlike regular pu-erhs made from large leaves and stems, Gong Ting consists of thousands of small golden buds. The buds fundamentally change the tea's profile: Texture: The brew is dark, opaque, and thick, like hot chocolate. Taste: The harshness and "wet earth" smell disappear. Noble notes of warmed wood, hazelnut, and creamy caramel emerge. This is a powerful yet refined energizer. It provides a state of clear, calm alertness and withstands many infusions.
