Zongzi Tea - Ripe Pu'er
We discovered these mini Zongzi teas while on a tea trip to Yunnan this summer, and they brought so much excitement and joy to everyone we gifted them to! This is a very rare form of tea hand-wrapped in bamboo leaf to resemble zongzi, a traditional Chinese glutinous rice dumpling. The bamboo leaves can be steeped with the tea to add flavor. These mini zongzi are a delicious and delightful way to enjoy tea, and can be re-steeped repeatedly throughout the day up to 6 or 7 times (see instructions below). We have packaged these in a 3” mini bamboo steamer or a mini take-out box. The mini bamboo steamer contains a set of 3 zongzi teas, and the mini take-out box contains a set of 5 zongzi teas. Each zongzi tea weighs approximately 9 grams. These contain 2022 ripe Pu'er leaves from Lincang (tied in blue string), one of the top producers of Pu'er tea in the world and home to the world's oldest cultivated tea tree at roughly 3,200 years old. Lincang is located in the southwest of Yunnan provinc
