Choosing your first Pu-erh tea can be difficult.
There are many origins, years and flavor profiles to explore — and buying a full tea cake before tasting it may feel like too much of a commitment.
That is why a Pu-erh tea sampler is one of the easiest ways to begin.
Instead of starting with one full cake, you can taste several different Pu-erh teas first, discover the flavors you enjoy, and then decide what you would like to explore next.
Taste Both Raw & Ripe Pu-erh
Our Grand Yunnan Pu-erh Discovery Set includes both raw Pu-erh and ripe Pu-erh, giving you a simple introduction to two important styles of Yunnan Pu-erh tea.
Six teas, individually labelled
Raw Pu-erh
- Jingmai — 2012 Jingmai Mountain: orchid fragrance, clear sweetness, fine texture and a soft, persistent finish.
- Langyue — 2011 Graceful Brightness: integrated smoky and honeyed notes with a deep, smooth body.
- Yunwang — 2010 Yiwu King: honeyed depth, soft sweetness and layered mountain character.
Ripe Pu-erh
- Qitunshanhe — 2018 Mountain Majesty: glutinous sweetness, clean warmth, a rounded body and bright red liquor.
- Gushuchenxiang — 2015 Chenxiang: pure aged aroma, dense silky texture and soft glutinous sweetness.
- Guseguxiang — 2019 Antique Charm: clean aged aroma, balanced sweetness and an easy, rounded finish.Each tea is individually packed and labelled, making it easy to brew, taste and compare.
No need to choose between raw or ripe Pu-erh before you begin.
Try both and let your own taste decide.

How to Brew Your Samples
A simple Gongfu-style brewing method works perfectly.
Tea: 5–7 g
Water: 95–100°C
Teaware: Gaiwan or small teapot
First infusions: Around 8–15 seconds
Start with a quick rinse, then brew the tea several times while gradually increasing the steeping time.
One of the pleasures of Pu-erh is discovering how the flavor changes from one infusion to the next.
