GCTTB DAY 3
Unfortunately I haven’t had the time to try many teas today, but hopefully I can get at least one more in before bed. It’s already 6pm and I’m just sitting down for the day so it will have to be a tisane, but I’ve got a few lined up that I want to try. :)
I’ve heard so much about rummy pu and have definitely stalked it’s Steepster page before that when I saw his in the box I knew I had to try it. Hard alcohol and tea are my two favourite things, and this tea holds them both up surprisingly well! I have no idea what it is about puerh tea that allows it to produce this flavour but it is intriguing, and also quite pleasing. It has a strong body, with a slightly stinging aftertaste that reminds me of the liqueur. It smells and tastes slightly sweet and faintly earthy (puerh type). Puerh is still not a tea I can see myself reaching for very often, but as far as puerh goes this was so far the best one I’ve tried. I steeped it with a teaspoon of leaf for 3 minutes in just under boiling water.
