Product details

Tasting notes

Brown nuggets release a bright red liquor, a thick, smooth mouthfeel and a fruity sweetness with a glutinous-rice note. The opened leaves are full. The tea can yield over 15 short infusions.

Origin and processing

The lumps form naturally when leaves cluster during pile fermentation. Their gold-nugget shape gives them the nickname ‘dog-head gold’. The firm pieces release their flavour gradually.

Brewing and storage

Warm a gaiwan. Add 7 g of tea and use water at 95°C or hotter. Steep the first five infusions for 3–5 seconds, then 5–10 seconds per infusion. The first rinse is discarded. More than 15 short infusions are possible. Store at room temperature in a cool, dry, dark place, away from strong odours.
