I have to readily admit this Puerh is nothing like the Puerh I had drunk when I was a teenager living in Hong Kong during the 70s, where my grandma always served us some 100-year old Puerh tea with deep dark color, was never bitter, but was always "sweet". That I ready the description of this Puerh and learned that it was "raw" and that it should be broken apart and air out. Well, only ordered a sample pack and most of the tea leaves were still clumped together and I did not have the time to air it out. It does have a unique taste, more like a green tea than a fermented black tea. In short, it is really not too bad and possible if I prepare it correctly, it may even taste better. But if you want a tradition Puerh tea, this would not be for you, but if you do not like the strong taste of regular Puerh tea, you may enjoy this one.

I used to drink the Jasmine pearl tea sold by Ten Ren Tea ($37.75 for 4 oz.) and it is not bad, then in the last year or two, their Jasmine pearl tea still smelled good but did not have any taste, something had changed. Therefore I had high hope with this tea. It smelled just as good as that of Ten Ren's but when drinking it, it was bitter and did not have any flagrant of Jasmine tea. Quite disappointing and I do hope the would allow my post. When I was a child, the Jasmine tea I drank in Shanghi restaurants in Hong Kong, with color like that of beer and full of aroma. Sad that it could not be found anywhere.

I got few samples, compare to all others, this is #1. The Lao Bang Zhan old arbor one taste not bad either, but price is 1/3 to this one.

This is my afternoon tea to relax with. I am glad I ordered a sample to bring my order to the required minimun for free shipping.

I love this tea, thank you for your help

I have tried few different types keemen teas, this one is absolutely one of top choices.

A must try Pu’er tea
