This is a tea that demands a little attention and respect, because it can get bitter if you don’t pay attention. But when I get it just right, it is smoky, earthy, sweet, fruity, and delicious. It holds well in the thermos for a day away from home, and it is nice gongfu cha as well.

I’d recommend 1gram of leaf per ounce of water, gongfu cha, starting with a flash rinse of boiling water, then short steeps with water a little cooler, 190-195 degrees.

Some of the leaves are rather dark colored after infusion, but not very purple. And the leaves aren’t fine little buds. But it is a pleasant enough tea for right now, and maybe by the time I finish it (I have so much puerh right now it will be years!), it will be even better.

Do you check out the puerh discussion board? My friend mrmopar made a humidor out of a refrigerator and fitted it with fans and such. Great puerh lover. If you want the link for getting free tea from Teavivre just ask. I’ve been getting free tea for almost 2years.

As with any purple bud, overbrewing can result in bitterness.

Butiki tea’s also carries this, I reviewed it months ago and loved the buttery sweet bean flavor which was unexpected. My uneducated experience with puerh is at least full of wonder.
