{"product_id":"thermos-teas-sampler-pack","title":"Thermos Teas Sampler Pack — 4 Slow-Steep Brews","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour packets of tea that suit slow steeping in a flask. Each packet holds enough leaf for an 800-1000ml flask: drop it in, fill with boiling water, and drink over the next few hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese tea culture this method is called men pao (焖泡), covered slow steeping. Most teas can't handle it. A delicate green turns bitter after ten minutes in hot water, but ripe pu-erh and white tea keep getting smoother the longer they sit. These are the teas we bring to Salamanca Market in our own flasks on cold Saturday mornings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the pack\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 packet of \"Sweet Stock\" Ripe Pu-erh Huang Pian (5g): mature-leaf ripe pu-erh from our 2021 brick, sweet and clean with low caffeine. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 packet of Tasmanian Lavender Puerh (5g): our blend of Menghai ripe pu-erh and Tasmanian-grown lavender,\u003cstrong\u003e awarded a Silver Medal at the 2025 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 packet of Rose Mandarin White (5g): aged white tea with 2016 Xinhui mandarin peel and rose petals.

Rinse the leaves first: pour a little hot water over them and tip it out straight away. Then add them to your flask, fill with boiling water, and close the lid. Give it 30 minutes to an hour before the first pour. One packet keeps a flask going all day, and the flavour builds slowly instead of turning bitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA note from our us\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This is how we drink tea most days at the market. There's no time for a gaiwan between customers, so a flask of ripe pu-erh sits under the table and I top up a cup when I can. If you have a long work day, a drive, or a hike coming up, this pack lets you try a few slow-steep teas before committing to a full bag.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack is $25.
