I had a sample of this sitting around and wanted Puerh to go with Hawaiian Sweet Bread that my daughter made this morning. I used the whole sample and my 26 ounce teapot, boiling water, first steep three minutes.
It is an earthy and a smooth Puerh with the lovely surprise of a stone fruit sweetness that caught me offguard. Delicious, and second steep is already almost gone as there are three of us drinking it. I didn’t time the second steep as Puerh can be unpredictable and the second steep often needs only a few seconds.
There was a sheen from droplets floating on top of the tea, oils I guess. I can tell we will get a number of steps still from this, so I will probably use some of it as a cold tea for tomorrow. This was delicious, and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it.
