139 Tasting Notes
I waited a long time to get this tea, the post in our little backwards country being sometimes funky. But Frank was great with reshipping a lost package, and I finally got my tea. WOW was it ever worth the wait. This tea is amazing. It’s like dessert in a cup. It’s great both black and with milk. And, as many have said before me, it really does taste like buttered cinnamon raisin toast. This is going on my select “Ultimate Favorites” list.
I made this tea 3 times, using different amounts of leaves each time (it’s hard to estimate the amount, as it’s packed so tightly), and I found the amount that suits me. I’m no pu erh expert, but this is one excellent cup of tea. It’s woody, but light, and very soothing. I somehow feel stronger and healthier after a few cups of this. Lasted for about 5 infusions. I only ordered a small sample, but now think I need a much larger quantity of this tea.
Preparation
I liked this tea a lot, when i first drank it. However I didn’t realize just how much I had liked it, until a few days after my little sample was finished, when I started to really crave more of that gentle smoky taste. I think I need to give it a higher rating that I originally had.
