Another thing has happened that I never thought would happen. A long time ago, when I only had fishy-smelling puerh tea, I liked the taste though not the aroma. I liked puerh tea and especially found it soothing when my tummy was angry. But I said I never woke up in the morning thinking, “Gee, I sure would love a cup of puerh tea right now.” Keemuns or black tea blends always had that honor.
Having now tried Teavivre and Purepuer.com puerh teas, I couldn’t get it off my mind this morning. Since today is tea party day, after all, I wasn’t going to make any tea this morning, but my girls each had a pot in front of them at the table as they did their schoolwork and I caved. This is so good, and this is a resteep, making it such a bargain as well. Warm earth aromas with clean yet horsey leather and the scent of osmanthus peeking through, I think I am becoming a puerh….addict? Snob?Aficionado maybe! I can’t wait to try even more puerhs!

So glad your children are enjoying tea, puerh and greens at that! I am fascinated by the idea of osmanthus flavored puerh… I have a bag of dried osmanthus I purchased from Jerry Ma at China Cha Dao, and on the suggestion of a Chinese friend, have used it for adding flavor to various green, black and oolongs. It is a flavor that is highly addictive!
It adds a lovely aroma, very subtle yet still distinctive and noticeable. What a great idea! I didn’t know anyone sold it by itself!
