a yummy tea! :) tastes like strong roses too :) though when brewed it smells a tad bit fishy but for some reason has no fishy taste :) maybe it should be aged more thus why the fishy smell. still a yummy tea. thank you to the staff at Yunnan sourcing and to Scott Wilson

If it smells fishy, give it a “rinse” first. Use slightly cooler water than you would for brewing, and just dunk it for 5 or 10 seconds. I find it helps

(also, dump the rinse and then brew like you normally would)

what an awesome pu-ehr! I can taste a tad bit of camphor and a lot of mushroom :) although its hard to pry from the brick (as it is dry) there’s like no fishy taste :) (even though I don’t mind the fishy taste) it tastes best when I let it steep for quite a while. many thanks to Yunnan sourcing and scot Wilson for this wonderful tea! :D

when i won the teavivre contest i gave one pack to my friend Duane. he did not get a chance to use it. so me and him had a campfire and we roasted hotdogs and used the pack of i think 6 grams and made a good amount of this tea :P since it tasted better with fire boiled water, I’m changing the score 80 —→ 85

Boiling 7 min, 0 sec 6 g 68 OZ / 2000 ML
