China Yunnan Organic Pu-erh Cakes
China Yunnan Organic Pu-erh Cakes
From the Yunnan province in China comes these 100gram cooked (Shou) pu-erh cakes. Harvested in the Spring, the tea is fermented 45-50 days and then compressed into cakes in July/August. This smaller sized cake is perfect for traveling or home consumption.
To Brew: Break off enough tea to measure roughly 2 teaspoons, rinse the leaves in hot (but not boiling) water, then steep in boiling water for approx. 4-5 min.
The deep amber cup emits a delightful musky aroma, with a strong peaty and earthy taste.

The description states it has a musky, peaty, and earthy taste which may be a bit misleading. Pu-erh in general all have this flavor profile but this one is very mellow on the earthiness scale. I would describe this pu-erh as delicate with a sweet melon type top note in the early steepings with a rich burgundy type richness in the later end. It's very enjoyable and I highly recommend it, well worth the price.
