Green Pu Erh Toucha (EC23) from Nothing But Tea
80

My third pu-erh from Angrboda! This one is different in two ways: it’s a green tea in type and it’s a toucha in shape.

The toucha part was really fun, actually, watching it slowly unravel. (Sadly, I didn’t get any pictures.) And it takes the guesswork out of how much tea to add!

Weirdly, this green pu-erh tasted much more like black tea than the regular pu-erh did! It was a nice sort of bracing black tea, like an Assam, maybe. Then I think I oversteeped it and it became dangerously bitter until I added a lump of sugar.

Enjoyable! I think I still like that very first pu-erh best so far, though….

Cait, excuse my confusion, but how can a tea be both a pu erh and a green tea at the same time…? Do you mean its a green (also called raw or sheng) pu erh?

I think that’s what I mean! I’m still figuring out the pu-erh (does it have a hyphen?) terminology.

Eh. There are different ways to pronounce it so I’m not surprised there are different ways to spell (or punctuate) it.

cofftea, no clue. thjat’s what the company called it. i don’t really get the dinstinctions between piu-erh types, but from what i gather i think maybe they just made the pu-erhj based on a green tea,

caitm, i’m so glad yoiu liked thjis one. iw wasn’t really a fan so i have ti admit i took yuor pu-erh sampling reqiuest as an opportinuty to get rid of it,.

(argh stupid finger-! i hioe you can bioth decipher this!)
