Great article on Pu-erh - all you wanted to know and more
http://hojotea.com/article_e/puerh_e.htm
Very informative; it explains how pu-erh is processed, the differences between sheng (raw) and shu (ripe) and what makes for quality tea (not age as much as the original raw material).
Enjoy!
Very interesting…thank you for the site…
No problem… there is a LOT of information about all kinds of teas, brewing, and tea vessels there, not just pu-erh info.
That’s a real find. They’re extremely informative without being dry or off-putting. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting the link, its a long read but well worth it.
You’re welcome!
There is a lot of information on that website, like I said above. Of particular interest to me were what he wrote about what makes a quality tea (his description of what is called “hou yun”) and about phoenix oolongs, etc. Definitely worth checking out.
Hojo also has excellent (albeit) expensive. Their teaware is also excellent if you have the money for it.
also has excellent…? tea, you mean?
Have you had any? Please review here on Steepster if you have!
