I think the pu-erh in GM’s Pu-erh Chai is a minor player in the tea, after the black tea and spices. When I have it, it seems to add a lovely muskiness (almost a cheesiness) to the tea. It isn’t a full-on take-no-prisoners pu-erh taste on its own. One of the things I like about it is that it works in partnership with the other flavors so well that it doesn’t dominate the mix.

Hrm. That IS strange. Pu-erh has been the only tea that has across the board been able to stand up to many, many steepings for me. Could be that I haven’t tried a ton. I think that Carolyn sent me some of this and I haven’t tried it yet. Might need to get around to it this week.
