Puerh from Yunnan Province is the best known variety of this category of tea, wit production dating back to imperial China. Coastal Tea Pu'erh This specific pu erh loose leaf tea undergoes an accelerated fermentation know as "ripe" or "shu". This rapid fermentation is then slowed and aged to produce a rich, unique taste with notes of dark chocolate and dried Chinese dates.

Great tea for the price
I was very pleased with this tea, it is smooth and rich. I love pu’erh and this one is my current favorite, this is the 3rd order for me, probably should buy in a larger quantity.

Earthy and heavenly
Yummy flavor. I made Hong Kong milk tea with this and it had a very nice touch to it.

smooth and rich
This is a generous quantity of aged, fermented tea (pu-erh). I've had this type of tea before, so I'm familiar with it's unique notes relative to normal black tea, green tea, or oolong. This is, by farm the richest yet most mellow tea I've ever had. It has a full body and distinct notes of fruit and earth, but it's neither too "dirty" nor overbearingly fruity. The flavors reveal themselves with richness and sufficient subtlety without being too faint. The processes by which it is aged and fermented cultivate some accessible, but interesting tasting notes.In terms of preparation, I researched the best way to brew Pu-erh and followed them exactly (warming and rinsing the pot and cups, rinsing the leaves, and making sure the water was the right temperature). On the short steep (3 minutes), this product a mellow, highly drinkable brew that required no sweetener or sugar to appreciate. The longer steep (around 10 minutes) produced a stronger, darker, more robust result which was also highly drinkable without anything added. It was a little like drinking straight coffee in terms of the boldness of the flavors, but it lacks coffees bitterness and sometimes "burnt" acrid notes. Because I could detect more of the "date" flavors in the stronger brew, I added a sweetener to see if that would draw those flavors out more and it did, though I think it is better drunk plain in general.I read online that you can brew pu-erh tea leaves up to 10 times, and I'm sure that is true depending on how long you steep them and how strong/weak you would like your tea. I like super strong tea in general, but did feel this was a great tea even when it was steeped for a shorter time and weaker. Chances are you can get at least two brews out of your leaves, if not more, and that will provide a little more value per quantity.Note: I received a free sample of this product for my assessment.

Too "earthy" for our taste. Otherwise as advertised.
