The quality of leaf and the careful production differentiates this Yunnan Pu-Erh from the common varieties. Still intense and earthy, but smoother and more complex in flavor. A sample is suggested for the uninitiated.
Steeping Suggestions

I've had a love/hate relationship with Pu-Erh teas for many years - bought them from Asian markets. But after trying this Pu-Erh I am now a convert! I recommend a 10 minute steep - that's when it's dark charms fly from the cup like witches leaving a coven. It casts its dark spell with the first sip and that's when you know you are possessed.
