  • Absolutely delicious!

  • This is my all-time favorite black tea, with a wonderfully rich aroma and full flavor. A terrific way to start my day. And the convenient individually-wrapped cakes—one cake makes one large cup—are perfect. This tea doesn't get bitter with steeping, so steep for at least 5 minutes for best results.
  • Excellent every-day Pu Erh

  • This is my favorite Pu-Erh, by far. It's dark, woody, and strong. By my taste, every brewing is perfect and it can't be over-steeped. This tea allows me to be really lazy; I put a tuo cha and hot water in a thermos with a filter top and let it steep indefinitely (I drink 2-3 of these per day). It also makes excellent cold-brew tea in summer.
  • Only one strength of cup

  • Unlike other cakes or even tuo chas I've had, this one dissolves into a fannings (dust) style in seconds, making any strength other than very high all but impossible on the first brew. While it has a reasonable pu-erh flavor, it misses some of the subtlety I get on other pu-erh offerings. Good for 3 brewings of 11oz mugs.
  • Very Good PU ERH, woodsy, deep and complex flavors

  • I will admit at first being a little concerned being that the other Pu erh teas I have had were at least quarter size because I steep my teas in a dedicated french press. These discs are the right size for an 8 cup french press and impressed the tea this special, thank you!
  • Thumbs Up!

  • My first Pu-Erh from Upton's. This was everything I was looking for: dark, strong, woody, and it re-steeps well. The size is great for me. Each cake measured just under an inch (24 cm) diameter, which was perfect for these little tulip infusers I got at Ikea. If you're on a budget or just want to try pu-erh, I Highly recommend this tea.
