From Rishi Tea

Classic style compressed Pu-erh designed for an 8oz infuser mug or teapot. Hand-harvested from the antique tea trees of Jingmai Mangjing, our Pu-erh Mini-Tuo Cha is rich, full-bodied and smooth with a sweetly flavored infusion rarely found in this type of tea. Each Tuo Cha weighs 5–6 grams.

This tea has a flavor reminiscent of the smell of leather with a hint of molasses. It’s not something I drink everyday but it is a good quality tea.

Very good puerh tea. If it is your first time with one of these make sure to steep it a few times before jumping to conclusions. The later infusions are much better and smoother.

Loved it!, I got sick and decided to have this tea by itself, it was like having espresso with caramelized sugar notes.

I love love love this tea. My typical steeping routine for this tea is 3 minutes for the first brew (which I don’t rinse, the super strong brew knocks my socks off), and then I add an extra 30 seconds to each additional steeping. I had this at work the other day and managed about 5 steeps before it was time to call it quits (on work and the tea). Strong, earthy and mellow. I tend to really like steepings 2 and 3 for this one.

I only have one problem with this tea: the design of the tin it comes in. It uses the same tin size and shape as Rishi’s loose-leaf tins, but the packed pu-erh cakes are much denser, meaning that I tend to misjudge the weight when I pick it up. I’ve dropped the tin twice, causing the wrapped cakes to scatter all over the floor.

Aside from that, it’s the best tasting pu-erh I’ve had so far.
