"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.

LOVE THEM!!
Size: Small, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
LOVE! These socks are so comfortable! I wear a 5 in women's and a 3 in big kid shoes. The small fit me perfectly. I see where some say they run small but I can't say that was an issue for me. They are "snug" but thats what you want with a no show sock. I feel they have support vs the ones i used to buy at Walmart. They are very soft! I am actually buying more today and throwing my other ones in the trash!

So will not write down your foot
Size: Medium, Color: (001) Black / Black / Castlerock
I love these socks. They have a little bit of gel on the top of the heel for support in your tennis shoes and so your socks don’t write down. Very good quality.

Comfy and Stay Put
Size: Medium, Color: (002) Black / Black / Halo Gray
These socks are honestly great. They’re super thin and light, so once you have them on, you kind of forget they’re even there. No bulky feeling in your shoes at all. The best part is they actually stay on. I hate no-show socks that slide down after five minutes, and these don’t do that. The little grip on the heel really works, so you’re not constantly adjusting them all day. They’re breathable too, which is nice if your feet run warm. They dry fast and don’t get that gross sweaty feeling. And there’s no annoying seam on the toe, so nothing rubs or feels uncomfortable. Basically, they’re just comfy, stay put, and don’t cause problems — which is all I want from socks.

Love these socks so much, been buying them for about 4 years now!! Not giving them 5 stars anymore because the quality is different and not as good, durable and thick as before.
