"The One" is a 200g ripe (shou) pu-erh cake made from 2024 spring harvest tea leaves, compressed in the traditional round cake shape in Menghai, Yunnan Province. Ripe pu-erh goes through an accelerated fermentation process called wo dui, which gives it that deep, dark, earthy character straight away — unlike raw pu-erh, which needs years of aging to mellow out.

What it tastes like

This is a full-bodied pu-erh with rich earthy notes, a juicy mouthfeel, and no harsh edges. The liquor brews up a deep reddish-brown that's thick enough to feel substantial on the tongue. There's a natural sweetness underneath the earthiness — not sugary, more like the warmth of dark roasted grains.

Brewing guide

Western style: Break off about 2g for a 400ml teapot. Use 90-100°C water and steep for 3-5 minutes. You'll get up to 3 infusions.

Gongfu style: Use 4g per 150ml gaiwan or Yixing teapot. A quick rinse with hot water first to wake up the compressed leaves. Then 95-100°C water, 30 seconds for the first 4 infusions, adding 10 seconds from the fifth. Up to 10 infusions.

Try boiling it: After your gongfu session, drop the spent leaves into a pot and boil for 3 minutes. This draws out a different, deeper flavour — thicker and more warming. Worth trying on a cold Hobart evening.

How to break the cake

Use a pu-erh tea pick or a butter knife. Insert it along the edge of the cake and gently pry upward — the compressed layers will flake apart. Take what you need and store the rest. A 200g cake will last quite a while with daily use.

Joanne's tip

If you're someone who drinks pu-erh regularly, a cake like this is good value. At 200g, you're looking at roughly 50 gongfu sessions, and the flavour actually improves as the cake opens up over time. I'd suggest pairing it with a dedicated Yixing clay teapot — using the same pot for ripe pu-erh builds up a seasoning that makes each brew smoother. Available at our Salamanca Tea Bar if you'd like to taste it before buying the full cake.

Disappointed at first
When comforter arrived in vacuum sealed bag and didn't "fluff" after 24 hours on guest bed, I put it in dryer on refresh. Still not kind of loft I expected. I put a duvet on it and used it. What a great surprise. It is so warm and now very fluffy. For the Price point of this comforter, I highly recommend it.

Very nice but….
I love the softness, quality, and feel of the product (feels crispy?? Not sure that’s the right word but it’s good). The comforter has a tiny bit of noise but I wasn’t bothered. Now… I am a huge fan of fluffiness and this just quite didn’t get as fluffy as I had hoped (compared to my other one) so I deducted one star. I kept shaking and fluffing and finally I put in the dryer. First I put on low tumble as suggested and that did absolutely nothing. So then I put another time in the dryer at regular heat and that helped some. I suspect ( but don’t know yet) this could fill out with time. So I will keep the item and we’ll see if I buy another one. I love to put down comforters in my guest rooms so my guests feel like they’re in a hotel on vacation. It’s my treat to friends/family.

Very, very comfortable and perfect weight.
It is a wonderful comforter, takes about ten days for it to fluff back to normal after shipping. I have not slept so go in months.
