"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.

Cozy!
Color: Light Grey, Size: 30.0"L x 30.0"W x 7.0"Th
My bully breed loves her bed! It’s comfortable and soft which my dogs seems to love. It’s pretty durable as it’s held up pretty well in the washing machine. I wish it had a removable cover to make washing it easier.

Our dog loves it!
Color: Dark Grey, Size: 36.0"L x 36.0"W x 7.0"Th
We adopted a rescue dog from the police pound and had kept her outside for several years. Recently she has been asking to come inside. I bought her this dog bed hoping to establish a place for her to settle and feel safe when she is inside. She is a medium size dog, about 60 pounds, and this bed fits her perfectly. It is warm and comfortable. She liked it from the start and goes to it when in the house. The grey fur-look fabric is neutral and blends in unobtrusively. It has held up very well. I washed it one time but don’t think it had room to move well in the washer so it didn’t get as clean as I hoped. It could probably be washed better by hand in the bathtub. It dried well in the dryer.

Soft but flimsy

— Just wanted to add an update to say that after I left this review the seller reached out to me to get more feedback and ask how they could make the experience better. I didn’t respond because I was pretty busy. They followed up and informed me that they have issued a refund for my order and that I do not need to send the item back. I appreciate their customer service. — The product is extremely soft. The dogs seem to love it. However, the “donut” part doesn’t hold up at all and the whole bed feels really flimsy. Our dog was on it for a couple mins and when he got up there is an obvious dent from where he was laying. We got a similar bed from Costco a couple months ago for roughly the same price. The bed holds up its shape and feels solid/heavy. We wanted a second one but it was out of stock so we looked on Amazon and found this one. The dark gray one in the photo is from Costco and the light gray one is this product. I probably won’t send it back (too much hassle) but if your dogs are 25lbs+ this bed may not give the support you are looking for.
