Loose Pu'erh Tea Tea by Nature's Tea Leaf

Loose Pu'erh Tea

Loose Pu-erh teas are known to have weight loss properties and can be used in diet and weight management. These select leaves are handpicked, dried, and rolled tightly and neatly into strips. Subsequently, the leaves undergo a microbial fermentation process which makes this a unique, dark tea. The Loose Pu-erh tea has a strong earthy aroma. When infused, the tea leaves are red-brown and the liquid is auburn, with a rich aroma and a refreshingly bold flavor to stimulate movement and circulation.

So this is my first try at a pu-erh in quite a while. Years, actually. My last attempt was a Teavana tea and didn’t go well at all, but I like to think I’m a little smarter about tea since then.

I steeped this according to the package instructions, 185 degrees for 2 minutes. From previous notes of other people about the subject, I also rinsed it off in my sink for 10 seconds so hopefully that’s right.

Brewed, the hot tea (too hot to drink yet) smells…fishy. Very slightly fishy. I have no idea if this is normal or not. The tea liquid is quite dark.

Well, this is certainly different. Very earthy. I’m not quite sure what to think about it or if I like it or not. I don’t hate it and I think I might like it in some flavoured blends but plain it’s a bit confusing.
