As I had suspected this is indeed quite similar to the pu-erh toucha I had the other day. Given a choice between the two, I’d get the toucha just for the convenience. It seemed like a good size in comparison to the size of my pot so the inability to adjust the ‘dosage’ isn’t something that would worry me.
Like the toucha, this one seems to be pretty much default pu-erh. The only difference here is that I haven’t steeped this one to the brink of death. The smaller leaf size in the toucha surprised me a bit.
But again, it’s a good tea. It’s just a pretty straight forward one. It tastes like pu-erh and it’s a good one to have for a plain every-day pu-erh that doesn’t cost a small fortune. That’s really all there is to say about it.

Is it wrong that the word “toucha” reminds me of “toucha toucha toucha touch me, I feel sexxxxy” from Rocky Horror?
I’m sorry, that’s what it’s called O.o :p
Now you’re making me glad I don’t know the source material…
No! Angrboda, you have to watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show sometime…it’s this super campy, cult-classic movie musical about a newly engaged man and woman (Susan Sarandon!) that gets lost and trapped at a mansion owned by a Dr. Frankenstein-esque transsexual. It’s just so over the top and hilarious. :)

ROFL! Now that’s all I see, too.

I remember dressing up for the midnight showings when I was in high school.
I can see I’m evidently frightfully uncultured… Such a philistine, me. :p
(Are you all going to throw wet teabags after me if I admit that it doesn’t immediately sound like something that I would like much?)
