I am waiting for time to pick up my daughters at the airport as they return home from Toronto where they attended the Toronto Tea Festival. Youngest says she doesn’t want to come home because Canadians are so nice! That is a really big deal seeing that she is always freezing cold here in the sunny South. What better way to pass the time than drinking tea until they get here with more tea!

My son was visiting this weekend, and last time I had a sample of this tea no one was home who drank pu but my youngest daughter and myself. We enjoyed it very much but I really wanted son and hubby to get to try it so I asked for a sample again with my last order. Now I am mad at myself for not ordering it while it was on sale.

I put the sachet in my Kamjove and steeped it over and over and over. The smell of this tea is just like when you are cooking rice and near the end of cooking time some of the rice water has come over the side and become very sticky, all down the side of the pot. This is THAT smell. It smelled so much like rice that my godson, who does not drink ANY tea but especially has not even considered drinking pu, was willing to try it, and even had a second cup.

Hubby liked it a lot and said his favorite steeps were the first ones because the pu was stronger than the rice flavor, and he felt that later steeps were more rice than puerh.

My son and I both also liked it a lot, and I know I will be ordering it eventually. I suspect he will as well.
