The last Russian blend sampler brought by NYC friends.

A great mix of lemon, orange, bergamot in a malty black base. Best out of the 5 Russian Blend Samplers.

Thanks Stephanie for this mini cake. I thoroughly enjoyed my second pu-erh experience (first one was from back in 2008). I like the fact that it can be re-steeped many times.

It did have a very slight fishy smell, but that did not bother me. I ‘rinsed’ it for 30 secs, but I decided to drink the ‘rinsing’ water and even that tasted good for me, lol. Pu-erh is definitely in my list of teas to explore :)

Thanks jeweledthumb for this. I love it! Too bad can’t get anymore of this :( I definitely tasted the nutty banana bread. I used about 2-3tsps (too chunky to really measure properly) in 4oz of boiling water and steeped it for well over 10 mins. It has a natural sweetness to it coming from the banana. I re-steeped about 4 times and the flavor remained until the 4th re-steep.

Good thing I read the reviews before steeping this one. I decided to steep this in a pyrex measuring cup so I didn’t have to use an infuser. Worked really well.
