Water: 8oz boiling water
Leaves: very tiny brownish-black leaves
Steep: 2m
Aroma: Smokey
Color: Black
Taste: Before buying this tea i had never heard of Pu-erh before, it was something completely new and still is. Before brewing I had rinsed the tea twice each time for 1 minute b/c I read it’s good to rinse Pu-erh. Then the brewing process I was surprised at how dark the color was it remind me of black coffee. As for the taste I’m not sure how to describe it, but it’s a very smooth tea.

Alreot – my opinion, a rinse of only a couple seconds is enough (I usually don’t rinse at all). Also you can steep this for 30 seconds or less and it will give a nice cup that is a lighter in color but just as smooth. It will resteep many times changing slightly in flavor as you go.

Thanks for the tip :) I found it interesting that you can steep it for a few seconds.
Hi Alreot, I agree with K S, a rinse should be quick. usually 2-3 seconds. If you use a Gaiwan or Yixing teapot, it can be resteeped many times until it loses flavor.
