This whole-leaf Shou Pu-Erh selection is aromatic and robust, with a hearty kick. Pronounced earthy/toasty notes are present in the dark, rich cup, along with hints of molasses. Its smooth character lingers long into the finish.
Steeping Suggestions
Leaf Quantity: 2.25 g/6oz cup Steep Time: 6-8 min. Water Temperature: 212 degrees (boiling)
For me it had a lively mulchy Christmas tree sort of aroma and flavor instead of the fishy crypt-like Pu'ers I've tried in the past, Rishi's pods, etc. Warming rather than cooling.
Pu'er (however it's spelled) is definitely NOT my favorite tea type but I still found this tea more enjoyable/interesting than many of my moost preferred tea types.
Great Pu-erh

This is the way I like my Pu-erh, dark, rich and malty. Highly recommended if you like a strong dark brew.
My all time favorite

I have tried many varieties of Pu-erh over the years and this is smoothest one I have tried. Earthy, lighter body than average, and easy to drink. Good for two steepings, at 8 minutes. I like to do a quick rinse with boiling water before the first steep.
