What is this tea...

Angel’s Nest is a 2008 vintage Ripe Pu’er from Yunnan, compressed into 4g single-serve size tea balls!

This is a great Pu'er tea for beginners. You can brew them using our Pure Land Tea Set, or just drop one into a thermos and sip on it throughout the day!

In terms of caffeine , its energy feels more like a slow burning log. It doesn't have any jittery side effects. Its also not acidic and in fact soothes the stomach.

What You’ll Taste

• Thick, dark amber liquor

• Wet earth and old wood

• Subtle cacao undertones

• Bitter free guarantee

• Returning sweetness (hui gan) within seconds

No aggression, no spikes.
Just silky smooth.

This is a grounding tea.

Why Tuo Cha (Tea Balls)?

Pu’er was historically compressed for transport along the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

Compression slows oxygen exposure, preserves the teas essence and protects the leaves.

The 4g nest format does something else:

It removes friction. You don't need to measure anything. No guesswork.

One nest = one full Gongfu session.

Drop it into you Gongfu teapot.

Rinse and do short steeps and infusions, again and again.

One Angel's Nest can produce 10+ infusions or more than one liter of hot water!

How to brewed?

Teapot or gaiwan method:

Use boiled water at 100°C

1. Warm the vessel

2. Quick rinse (5 seconds)

3. Steep 5–15 seconds

4. Pour fully

5. Repeat to get 8-10 infusions.



Thermos Brew Method:

Preheat the thermos (optional)

Fill with boiling water, cap 30 seconds, dump.

1. Add tea

2. Quick rinse (optional but better)

Pour boiling water over the nest, cap 5–10 seconds, dump. (Helps the tea ball open up + clears away rougher early flavors.)

3. Fill with boiling water (100°C), cap, wait:


10–15 min = lighter / smoother


20–30 min = deeper / thicker


45+ min = very strong (still usually not bitter with shou)


4. Top back up with boiling water as you drink.

You can usually refill 2–3 times from one nest (depends on thermos size + how strong you like it).

Pro tip: If it’s too strong, just crack the lid for 10 seconds or add a splash of hot water to dilute.
