I am enjoying a second steep of this tea now, if rolling around on the sofa going “nomnomnom” is enjoying, and it occurs to me that I really truly do not believe this is a Puerh tea. Now, it might be Pu Er, as in, it was purchased in the tea trading town in Yunnan Province, China called Puerh, but I am convinced this is a Golden Mudan just like the one sold by Harney and Sons years ago. The company has this listed under both Pu Er tea and Black Tea headings. I think it belongs exclusively under black tea. There is no hint of she or sheng flavor, no appearance of Puerh, no extreme darkening of the tea when left for a longer steep.
Whatever it is, I love it and will probably buy more. But I still don’t think this is a shu or sheng Puerh.
