The mini Pu-erh tuocha brews a red liquor with a satisfying, aromatic, remarkably smooth taste. The rice scent is not from common rice, but a special herbal plant called Pandan.
The Gongfu brewing method for this tea is to take one piece in a teapot. Heat water until boiling. Pour enough water to cover the tuocha, steep for 15 seconds and pour off water. This is called ‘rinsing the tea’. Add more water and steep for 20 seconds. Pour water into tea cups or a secondary teapot for drink. Water at the bottom of the pot will be stronger. 15 secs for the second infusion, additional infusions should be steeped for longer, 30 secs for the third, 60 secs, 120 secs, etc until tea is depleted. Steep longer for a stronger taste.
