November 2024: Ripe Pu-erh (Shou Pu'er)

Since our October 2022 tea club, we are once again introducing the rich and smooth world of Ripe Pu-erh (Shou Pu’er) tea. This theme explores the diverse facets of this beloved post-fermented tea from Yunnan, featuring four distinctive varieties that highlight its versatility.

First, we present our 2017 Gong Ting Ripe Pu-erh, the highest-grade pu-erh made from tender young leaves. Known for its creamy texture and hints of chocolate, this tea promises a refined, luxurious experience. Adding a citrus twist, we introduce the 2017 Xiao Qing Gan, where 2010 Gong Ting ripe pu-erh is packed inside a young tangerine peel from Xinhui. This combination infuses the tea with a bright aroma, balancing the depth of pu-erh with a fruity fragrance.

Next, we have the 2016 Lao Cha Tou, also known as "Old Tea Nuggets," made from leaves harvested in the spring from Jingmai Mountain’s Gushu trees. These dense clusters of fermented tea leaves offer a long-lasting tea session, with mellow, sweet, and smooth flavors that unfold over numerous infusions. Lastly, enjoy the convenience of our 2017 Bulang Rhyme Dragonball, made from spring leaves of Bulang Mountain's big arbor trees. This small-batch, hand-rolled tea ball provides an easy and portable way to brew a delightful cup of pu-erh.

Upcoming theme: Southern Fujian Oolong. Registration will open on 12AM PDT, November 16th, 2024.
Future themes: To be deternmined (Hainan Tea, Black Tea, etc.)

All the teas from the club are carefully sourced and amazingly unique."

    📍Hội An, Vietnam. Thao Huynh
  • “We have been enjoying Gong Fu Cha for about 20 years. Often the tea we purchased from "western facing vendors" was either disappointing or boring. The teas Vincent has selected for the club have been consistently excellent. Combined with the MyTeaPal App, the videos, the tastings and the knowledgeable international membership I could not be more pleased.“

    📍Gainesville, FL. Steven K

The integration of the MyTeaPal App gives me the opportunity to share my notes and pictures, plus the added new feature of connecting with other club members is just amazing. I’m already curious which teas Vincent got for the next few months."

  • "MyTeaPal was an instant Gong Fu Cha game-changer for me! Being new to Chinese teas, I wanted to find a resource for expert advice on which teas to drink and a group of people with whom I could share my tea journey. With a curator like Vincent and regular virtual tea sessions with other members from around the world, I found both and much more with MyTeaPal! From a cost/benefit perspective, the club has far exceeded my expectations and I give it my highest recommendation."
