Frequently Asked Questions
Does Culinary Teas Golden Pu-erh - 5 yrs Tea have caffeine?
Yes. This blend contains moderate caffeine typical of pu-erh. Exact levels vary with steep time and water temperature, but expect a gentle mental lift with each cup.
What makes this aged pu-erh different from younger varieties?
The five-year aging period softens and mellows the tea significantly. This creates a gentler, more nuanced cup compared to fresh pu-erh, with reduced bitterness and enhanced earthy complexity that unfolds across multiple infusions.
How do I brew this tea?
Steep in hot water (195–212°F) for 3–5 minutes. This blend re-steeps beautifully; later infusions often reveal additional flavor layers and depth.
