"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.

High Concentration PDRN
Scent: PDRN, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: PDRN, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I absolutely love K-Beauty skincare, and Abib is one of those brands I am genuinely obsessed with. They consistently focus on thoughtful formulations and skin-friendly ingredients, which is exactly what I look for. I’m in my early 30s with combination skin, and since I use a lot of actives (acids, retinol, etc.), I need products that support my skin without feeling heavy or clogging. This PDRN booster cream is such a standout: ✔ PDRN (15,000 ppm) – Helps with skin repair and gives that subtle plumping effect over time. ✔ Peptides – Support firmness and elasticity, especially in areas like smile lines and forehead. ✔ Retinal – A more advanced vitamin A that helps smooth texture and fine lines. ✔ Barrier-supporting ingredients – Keeps skin comfortable and balanced despite active ingredients. The texture surprised me — it’s richer than a serum but still absorbs beautifully without feeling greasy. 💭 My experience: This makes my skin feel instantly smoother and more hydrated, but the real magic is how it improves texture over time. My skin looks more refined and slightly plumper, especially in areas where I tend to lose hydration. ✔ No heaviness ✔ No breakouts ✔ Works well in an active-heavy routine Abib just gets it — effective ingredients, elegant formulas, and results you can actually see.

Gentle but powerful serum!
Scent: Bright Force, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Soo gentle, moisturizing and it works! So true to its name, its a bright force after first use! This was such a pleasant surprise to me. I did some light research on this product and was confident after reading the ingredient list that it would help my post acne hyperpigmentation and even tone concerns. Im slowly increasing use and only starting in my nighttime routine as instructed. No irritation or break outs. I use almost 2 pumps and it’s enough to easily spread out on my whole face and absorbs nicely without greasiness. It has a very mild scent but it’s barely there. I have sensitive acne prone skin and it worked for me so i would highly recommend to anyone wanting to try the benefits of higher niacinamide concentrations.

Zero stars smells like chicken bullion maybe I got a bad one
Scent: PDRN, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
My husband even commented on the smell when he kissed me goodnight after I put this on, thinking I was crazy for thinking it smelled horrible. In the pictures online it shows it a clearish pink hue even in large puddles in their marketing. One pump of this comes out a gross cloudy salmon orange color, nothing like the picture. Maybe a bad batch?

Definitely worth a try
Scent: Red Effect Serum, Size: 1.01 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Absorbs well without leaving any sticky feel. I’ve noticed that my skin has better evenness and smoother texture. Starting to see less fine lines and a more hydrated and tightened complexion.
