drank Caramel Toffee Puerh by Teayama
350 tasting notes

My stomach was feeling a bit weird today so I decided to feed it some puerh. Brewed it fairly strong – 5g in my 10oz mug, rinsed x2 then steeped for 4min, 6min, 8min. I like that it never seems to get bitter or astringent. I think the second steeping is still my favourite. Third is a bit lighter, but still quite drinkable.

Flavors: Caramel, Earth, Sweet

Preparation
4 min, 0 sec 5 g 10 OZ / 295 ML

Well it has been over a year and everyone I know thinks my tea obsession is a bit out of hand, so… I guess I’m not a total newbie anymore. :)

I’m drinking a lot more pure tea these days, though I still love a good flavoured blend too. Current favourites: Chinese and Taiwanese blacks, fresh Chinese greens, oolongs both green and roasted, sheng puer.

I really love companies that buy directly from tea farmers, and have an emphasis on quality and sustainability. Favourites: Verdant, Whispering Pines, Eco Cha, White 2 Tea. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I buy almost all my tea online.

For hot tea, I’m usually brewing in either a 100ml gaiwan, or a 10oz mug with a steeping basket. For cold tea, I cold brew overnight in 500ml mason jars.

My cupboard on Steepster doesn’t include small samples, just the ones I have at least 15g of. So if you see something you’re interested in, I probably have enough to share. :)
