Qiao Jun is part of of the Honghai Tea Factory based in Man Zhen Village near Menghai, Yunnan, China. They have been in the tea business since 1999.

These are very large leaves hand picked from younger trees 30-40 years old. This is a blend of Menghai, Nannou, Mengsong, and Bada area leaves. Aging was done for 3 years in Guangdong and 4 years in Kunming.

This puerh brews very light even with longer steepings. This will brew very smooth with a pronounced mellow sweetness. It’s moist in the throat with a pleasant aftertaste.

Use 5-7 grams of leaves and brew with 6-8 ounces of water at or near boiling. Wash twice for 3s each, then start with a quick steep of 8-10s. With each re-steep adjust the steep time to your taste.

For the last three days I have been having the Crimson Lotus tea’s 2007 Qiao Jun “Huang Zhi” shou pu-erh. The website states: “This puerh brews very light even with longer steepings. This will brew very smooth with a pronounced mellow sweetness. It’s moist in the throat with a pleasant aftertaste.” I completely agree with this note. The tea is simply pleasant, has a certain lightness to it, and has a hint of chocolate in its finish during early steepings. I found it grew on me over the three days it took to go through 10 steepings. Seems like a pretty good bargain for a pleasant everyday drinker at $22 for a 250 ml brick (also available in 25 gram sample size). More info available at http://crimsonlotustea.com/products/2007-qiao-jun-huang-zhi-250g-shou-ripe-puerh-brick. My tea was from a sample purchased last month.

Thanks for the link. I just checked them out, and they look like they have a few affordable ripe pu-erh teas and offer samples of some as well.
