“Huh. Came home, really really tired – my body’s beat, not sure why, but I slept from 12pm to 9am, and then from about 10am-3pm. And I’m still exhausted and my eyes hurt and I have a headache, so I...” Read full tasting note
“Hmm no love for this one on Steepster. Between “flavorless” and “disgusting” with a slight fishy smell and no earthy notes. Well, I guess I can be grateful I followed my natural instincts and...” Read full tasting note
“These are fun little things – The little tuo cha was so tiny and adorable. Just by itself, this was really fun to open. There was an initial fishy smell. I kind of like that, but I can see how...” Read full tasting note
“I’m hardly a pu-erh conoisseur but I only found this one to be rather mediocre. The flavour lacked much of the earthy flavour I’m used to associating with pu-erhs and what’s left was a tannic...” Read full tasting note
Pu’erh eye candy
Just unwrapping this pressed tea is a small luxury. To say nothing of the earthy, rich, dark-licorice sweetness of it when steeped. And these steam-heated leaves, like all pu’erhs, are also known for their health benefits. So even if it looks like a cute little thing, this tea will slash your cholesterol, kickstart your metabolism and soothe your digestion. Steep each bonbon up to 5 times! Low in caffeine.

This is this first Pu-erh tea I have tried. Normally I drink White and Green but I really enjoyed this, it has become my new favorite. I didn’t have the same fishy smell or taste that others reported. The smell was more earthy and almost tobacco like. While I did like it plain I found a little bit of sweetener (I use splenda) brings out more of the flavor.
Like the description says, just opening it is fun. The little tea nest has a earthy smell that is delicious. Contrary to the warnings of the salesperson I didn’t find it really strong. Perhaps the second steeping will be? Will add notes later. It has a nice light flavour and a very dark brew. Lovely. A new favv.
