My first to try from the pu’er sampler I got awhile ago.
Rinse, let rest for 10 minutes, rinse, then brew for 20 to 30 seconds.
Brews a dark reddish brown color. Initially smells dark and earthy but becomes sweeter as the leaves sit and are resteeped.
Tastes very creamy and rich, and reminds me of rice pudding. Quite enjoyable.

The rest period really helps especially in shou I think.
I learned this from reading your notes! :)
Yeah I think shou really responds to this well. I guess it allows the leaf to absorb the moisture. Now if I can only learn how to break a cake right… :P
Haha, I haven’t actually ever had to break a cake yet.. ;)
Soon….Soon…..
Well.. at the ‘speedy’ rate I’m getting through these samples, it may be awhile yet. :)
Although, I do have a cake of mandala’s wild monk, but I am waiting a bit before I try that.
