Have you ever had Pu-erh Palace… With gingerbread cookies?

No?

If I were you… I WOULD ADD IT TO MY TO-DO LIST.

’Tis the season! :)

A dependable, non-fussy loose leaf shu. Mushroom fragrance coupled with that classic puerh aroma of wet mulch or a damp forest floor. A low-maintenance tea that never grows bitter or astringent with oversteeping, and always intensifies in terms of richness and flavor.

This is probably the single most delicious black pu-erh tea I’ve ever had. Rishi Tea is accurate in referring to it as their espresso of pu-erh teas — it is the closest thing I’ve had in teas to the experience of espresso, even though it doesn’t have a coffee flavor. But it would probably work as a way of getting an espresso drinker to appreciate tea.

This is a decent basic pu-erh. I drink it in the morning when I am in the mood for something more pleasant than coffee.
