Ancient Trees Organic Pu-erh
This tea is rich, earthy, nutty and densely flavorful, as thick and dark as coffee, yet exceptionally smooth.
In the mountains of southwest Yunnan is a forest containing semi-wild tea plants, many of them centuries-old and as tall as trees. The local people have been making organic Pu-erh tea from these old-growth tea trees for many generations. The unique "bowl" shape is termed Tuo Cha, achieved by traditional pile-fermenting, pressing and drying techniques.
Brewing: Fill a tea pot half way with boiling water, unwrap the paper covering and place the tuo cha piece in the pot. Wait a moment, and then discard the water - rinsing Pu-erh tea helps mellow its character. Bring water to a rolling boil, pour immediately onto the tea, and cover with a lid. Steep for five minutes, then strain the tea while pouring. The leaves can be steeped again for a second serving as rich as the first - it's impossible to oversteep this tea. Each piece can be used to brew two steepings for a total of four 6-oz. servings.
This tea is also available by the pound.
