What is this?

[Jayaratna]

Dear all,

I am not much into pu-er teas, but I received this as a sample: any one could help by telling me what it is and how to brew it?

Thanks for your help,
A

Looks to be the wrapper from Nan Jian factory, made in 2008 batch number 3. I would believe it is a ripe puerh.

[Jayaratna]

It definitely is, thank you!

[shogun89]

Yeah, no problem. I forgot to answer your brewing question, sorry. Your going to want about 6 grams in a gaiwan or yixing. bring water to a boil pour into vessel. let sit for about 10 seconds, pour off, this is a rinse. Pour water in again let sit for about 10-15 seconds, this one you drink, continue increasing steeping time by 5, 10, 20, 40 seconds until the leaves have given it all.

Thanks a lot!
