I kid you not when I tell you that I have never before had such an amazing experience with Pu’er tea. I first would like to explain that Misty Peak Teas are 100% organic, no pesticides, sprays, or anything used in any way shape or form, just traditional farming styles. They are also certified fair trade and work with the family who makes the tea. All of this makes me smile as I sip my incredibly delicious cup of Pu’er knowing that not only is the tea amazing, but is also good for my health since it is organic ( Pu’er also has numerous health benefits listed on Misty Peak Teas website) and conscious knowing that the family who made the tea are treated fairly. Now on to the tea!
The taste of the tea is unlike anything that I have ever had before. Imagine the great stone fruit like qualities of a great cup of Yunnan Black teas, mixed with an Oolong like mineral water quality, combined into one and with its own unique twist with not a touch of any bitterness or astringency that you would get with an Oolong or Black tea. The smell of the dried and brewing leaves have an exact smell of dried plums/cherries and smelling the tea instantly makes my mouth water. You can literally tell that the tea is of high quality just by looking at it, long whole leaves of even length and color.
While sipping the tea I held it in my mouth and with every sip I noticed a new complex flavor that would light up my eyes. The most prominent flavors are stone fruits, dried plums, and dried cherries. They hit you instantly with a calming warm sweetness that is very comforting. The mouthfeel is incredibly smooth and leaves me wanting another sip. On later sips I noticed a mineral like flavor note that was extremely refreshing. I could not help but brew myself more. I drifted into teaphoria! The tea left me in a peaceful lucid mindset feeling ready to write music, write reviews, and simply just think about life and all the wonderful things it has to offer.
I am going to be very sad when my Pu’er from Misty Peak Teas runs out so I will be sure to keep this tea in my collection once it does! I can’t wait to share it with other tea lovers in my area. If you haven’t tried Misty Peak Teas Pu’er then you need to as it is a wonderful spiritual experience that will not be forgotten!
