149 Tasting Notes
Tightly curled leaves that unroll to really fill up the infuser. Use about 1/2 what you would normally use.
Produces a dark, flavorful, earthy brew that is smooth and not very tannic.
Good, but with no milk or sugar, I need to use less tea next time and not steep it for so long (5 minutes this time).
Preparation
A Strong Pu-erh, comes as an incredibly hard ball of tea. I was not able to cut it with scissors or a knife; ended up putting the whole ball into my cup, seems like overkill for a single cup. Generally a little harsher than usual for pu-erh, which before has always been a very smooth tea. Not a favorite pu-erh, but I can drink it.
Preparation
Exactly what I expected from “Earl Grey and Orange Marmalade”… it’s OK, nothing to rave about. Just a unique combination I have never had before.
Preparation
A Bit stronger than I remember their “standard” Lapsang from several years back, but good.
medium-dark brew, slightly smoky /peaty smell. A bit lighter on the “tea” flavor.
I’ve had better, but its OK.
