"A wonderful first foray into the world of the Pu-erhs. Smokey, earthy and exotic, it was a sensual joy from the moment I opened the beautifully wrapped and pressed teacake through the sweet and smooth steeped tea. An out of the ordinary delight!" Lynnette Younggren

"I've been searching for a replacement for ZG64, Tuocha, which I loved. It's no longer available. This tuo cha is much different in that it has a smokey flavor, but I really like it." Jarred Gunderson

"I found the recommended seeping times to be too long and resulted in a bitter brew tasting of too much smoke. But at 195 degrees for 2 minutes resulted in a nicely balanced and flavorful brew. Also, was good for multiple infusions." Todd D Shaw
